A High Ranking Member Of The Sinaloa Cartel Is Found Murdered With His Brother (8/19/24)

Beyond The Horizon

The recent murders of Martin and Leobardo Garcia Corrales, two significant figures linked to the Sinaloa Cartel, have sent shockwaves through the region of Sinaloa, Mexico. Their bodies were found on a rural road in the municipality of Elota, near Culiacán, on August 17, 2024. Both brothers were discovered alongside another man, all with signs of torture and gunshot wounds. Their faces were covered with tape, and their hands were bound.
Martin and Leobardo were closely associated with Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, one of the top leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel. They were also involved in large-scale fentanyl trafficking operations, which made them targets for both Mexican and U.S. authorities. The U.S. government had offered a $4 million reward for information leading to their capture due to their role in producing and distributing fentanyl in the United States.
The murders come at a time of heightened tension in the region, particularly following the capture of El Mayo in late July. This has led to concerns about further violence and instability as different factions within the Sinaloa Cartel vie for control​,
