Everyone Knew

The name doesn’t carry the same weight it did when his father and uncles held it.

Jesús Alfredo Beltrán Guzmán—El Mochomito, also known as Tito—is the son of Alfredo “El Mochomo.” He was born into power, but he didn’t carry it the same way. The Beltrán Leyva organization doesn’t even exist anymore—not in any serious way. His father is serving life in a U.S. prison because he refused to flip. Tito didn’t follow that example.

He went into La Tuna looking for revenge on El Guano, whom he blamed for a family member’s death—a move that took him straight into the hometown of Chapo’s mother. She wasn’t there that day—she was in Culiacán for a medical appointment. They raided the town, burned property, and left five people dead.

In late 2016, he was stopped during a traffic checkpoint in Zapopan, a suburb of Guadalajara, by federal forces. Inside the car, authorities found a grenade, assault rifles, and kilos of cocaine. He was sentenced to ten years but slipped out after five—released early on what officials called a legal technicality.

Even in prison, he couldn’t stay quiet. They tell me he extorted, ordered beatings, and kept moving weight from inside. There was no structure. Just a name he didn’t know how to carry.

The Flip

So when he flipped, it wasn’t a surprise. It was expected.

Los Chapitos had never taken him seriously. They tell me that back in 2016, he was involved in the Puerto Vallarta kidnapping of El Chapo’s sons. Iván Archivaldo Guzmán gave him a pass—but no one forgot it. When Tito asked to join, the brothers agreed—but they knew what was coming. They started distancing themselves after the massacre.

When it became clear he was behind the van massacre—coordinating the hit with turncoats inside his own territory—that’s when they stopped pretending. His betrayal wasn’t just seen as defection, but as a declaration.

They tell me his name is now tied not only to the massacre but to the broader collapse of pretend loyalty. He’s grouped alongside Los Linces, now confirmed to have flipped to Chapo Isidro/Mayito Flaco.

Tito’s loyalty is like sobriety—it never lasts. Pressure hits, and he goes back to what he knows.

The bosses didn’t argue. They just cut contact. In their world, once you turn, the whole organization turns on you.

His sector was up north—La Presita, Campo Morelia, Limón de los Ramos. At first, they sent him support. But when the war intensified and he went rogue, and they left him hanging—same reason as always: no one trusts a guy who’s known for switching sides.

Now that zone is being held down by the crews that were closest to him and loyal to Los Chapitos. Everyone else moved back toward the capital.

What started as a massacre turned into something bigger—a calculated realignment that flipped the map and exposed where everyone really stood.

They knew. Everyone knew this was going to happen. It was just a matter of when.
