Uruapan massacre

On August 8, 2019, Mexican authorities confirmed the discovery of 19 bodies in Uruapan, Michoacán. The Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel, through narcomantas, claimed responsibility for the massacre, whose bodies were abandoned in three parts of the city. Six of the bodies found were hung on a vehicular bridge and others were found dismembered.[1]

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel pointed out in the banners, various threats to alleged members of Los Viagras. Mexican media and authorities pointed out that this finding is related to the fights between cartels in the state of Michoacán, this being one of its most grotesque episodes.[2][3]
