Mexico City Double Homicide: Journalist Implicates CJNG Cartel

Mexico City Double Homicide: Journalist Points to CJNG Involvement A double homicide in Mexico City has prompted speculation about the involvement of a major drug cartel. Journalist Oscar Balderas, in a recent video analysis, suggests that the sophistication of the crime points towards the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). The victims, Ximena Guzmán and José Muñoz, were killed with a 9mm weapon described as "nueva de paquete" (brand new) by Balderas. This detail, along with the assassin's elaborate escape plan involving a motorcycle and two other vehicles, indicates significant resources and planning. Balderas states, "Solo un grupo de esa magnitud, con esos alcances, con esa capacidad técnica (como el CJNG) es quien podría hacer este tipo de delitos." (Only a group of that magnitude, with those resources, with that technical capacity (like the CJNG) is who could commit this type of crime.) The investigation has extended to the northern limits of the State of Mexico. Authorities have cautioned against speculation, but the details of the crime raise serious concerns about the operational capabilities of criminal organizations in the region. While a definitive link to the CJNG remains unconfirmed, the evidence presented by Balderas warrants further investigation and highlights the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement in combating organized crime in Mexico.
