El Chaparro And The Tuzantla Massacre (7/14/24)

The Epstein Chronicles

El Chaparro, a leader within the Familia Michoacana cartel, played a significant role in a deadly confrontation in Tuzantla, Michoacán. The violence erupted on August 24, 2022, when hitmen from rival factions of the same cartel clashed in the town's main square, resulting in at least eight deaths, including minors. This confrontation was part of a larger internal conflict within the Familia Michoacana following the execution of another cartel leader, Medardo Hernández Vera, alias "Lalo Mantecas".
El Chaparro, who controls the Tuzantla and Tiquicheo areas, rebelled against the supreme leader of the Familia Michoacana, Johnny Hurtado Olascoaga, alias "El Pez." This rebellion led to a series of violent clashes, including the torching of a gas station in Tuzantla. Federal and state security forces responded, arresting several individuals and seizing vehicles, weapons, and drugs.
The conflict in Michoacán is part of a broader pattern of cartel-related violence that has plagued the region, contributing to high homicide rates and significant instability​.
