Content warning: Graphic cartel video. Viewer discretion is advised.
The Location
The recording comes from near the Crucero a Chametla, roughly seven kilometers southeast of El Rosario, Sinaloa. People are circulating the coordinates as 22.9336247, -105.8310886.
During the day, the location looks like nothing. A small roadside structure with white walls, blue paint along the bottom, an open roof, gravel on the ground, and brush behind it. It looks like the kind of place people pass without noticing.
At night, with the phone light casting a glow on the wall, it became the backdrop for a cartel message.
The scene shows a white narcomanta under the roof. An orange barrel sits in front of it. A sombrero rests near the ground. The walls, roof beams, gravel, and dark brush behind the building match the geolocation images tied to the site.
This does not look like a hidden camp. Instead, it looks like a place near a road, exposed enough to be found yet isolated enough to serve as a message.
The Banner
The banner calls Mayito Flaco, Los Cabreras, and Alberto David Rubio Zamora, alias “El Mudo Antrax.” The message says the answer to the invitation to “turn around” is no. The writer says he is, and will always be, 100% Chapo. The warning ends by saying this is how everyone who wants to enter the south will be left.
The banner carries the signature: 80.
The “80” signature likely points to El Gabito, also known as El 80, a Chapiza-linked operator associated with El Rosario and southern Sinaloa. He is aligned with Los Chapitos, the Guzmán Salazar faction of the Sinaloa Cartel.
The Captives
The video shows two young men stripped to the waist, standing with their hands behind their backs. The light is harsh and close. Behind them is only brush and darkness. Their bodies are stiff. Their voices are low.
The first captive says he is originally from Durango. He says he volunteered for the job and worked for MF and Los Cabreras. When asked who his commanders were, he named H.R. and Pica.
The second captive gives his name as Exelimón Velasquez Sábalos and says he is from Torreón, Coahuila. His fear is more visible. He says he was abducted. Then, when the sicario tells him that MF and the Cabrera mob are not welcome in Sinaloa, he breaks. He starts pleading, repeatedly saying that they are with Chapiza.
That is the part that stands out. The banner was already written. The warning was already prepared. Still, the victim tries to save himself with words.

The Message
El Rosario sits below Mazatlán, near the route toward Chametla and the road south toward Nayarit. Whoever placed the banner there wanted MF and Los Cabreras to see the line being drawn.
But the location is clear. The banner is clear. The threat is clear.
Chapiza is warning that Mayiza and Los Cabreras are not welcome in that part of Sinaloa. Anyone accused of entering the South under the wrong flag could end up in the same place.
