Recent Criminal Acts in Aldama Are Part of the Conflict Between “La Linea” and “Los Cabrera”

César Jáuregui explained that the events that left three people dead, two houses burned and three cars torched, are part of the same conflict in Ojinaga.

The Attorney General, Cesar Jauregui Moreno, said that the recent criminal acts last week in the municipality of Aldama, which left three people dead, two houses burned and at least three cars torched, are part of the same conflict in Ojinaga, between the criminal group La Linea and “Los Cabrera”, the armed wing of the Sinaloa Cartel in Durango.

He emphasized that these are events that have been occurring for several months but in the northeast of the state, specifically in Ojinaga, Coyame and Belisario Domínguez, where in the month of September alone, the number of victims rose to more than 20.

Without directly mentioning the criminal groups, the head of the FGE commented that the cartel from Durango has recently been making incursions into the lands normally managed by the local cartel (La Linea).

The last attack in the municipality occurred during the first minutes of Saturday, March 1, with two armed attacks in different events, the first in the downtown area of the city, when a man was shot at on the street, specifically on Constitución and Lerdo de Tejada avenues.

Minutes later, a second attack occurred in a subdivision called San Geronimo, on Francisco Rodriguez Baca and Francisco Villa streets, where a man was reported dead on board a car.

Hours later, they were identified as José H. R., 28 years of age, who was killed in the San Jeronimo neighborhood while he was in a white Chevrolet Silverado truck. The other subject killed was identified as José Guadalupe R. O., 53 years of age, who was killed outside a bar called Casa Colorada, on Constitución Avenue in the center of the city.

Prior to this, on February 26, there was a confrontation between armed men in one of the neighborhoods north of the city of Aldama, which lasted a little over an hour, leaving one man dead, two houses burned and two cars torched; so far there have been no arrests for this.
