This is big news.This will further add the internal battle for control of the Gulf Cartel. Almost or most of the high ranking bosses have been either captured by the Army or have died in internal shootouts. X-2, Commadante Simple,Homero, Commadante Guerra, Gringo,and.others. Most of these guys have died in shootouts with other rival factions vying for control of the Gulf Cartel. Most of these battles occur in the outskirt small towns but the last time some of the high ranking captains along with their bosses have gone shooting each other in the streets and the fucking army and federal police are letting them go at it. When that happens people have reported that up to 80 Gulf Cartel gunmen including g several bosses and high ranking captains. Gunmen rolling in bullet proof trucks, some with reinforced steel. Shooting at each other like the wild waste. It's humiliating how the Tamaulipas state goverent as a whole have been kidnapped by the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas. All of this started with the betrayal of X-2 to his boss Metro 3. Metro 3 was one of the most respected bosses and probably replaced Castillo as the Gulf Cartel leader. Homero one of the Guillen brothers and last Guillen brother has always been peaceful and low key but he was busted a while ago before the betrayal of Metro 3 but nooo X-2 has always been a goon but he pussied out when the Marines came for him surrendering instead of fighting like his men did for him or the guys he sent as suicide squads to Nuevo Laredo, the headquarters of Los Zetas. Gringo had huge balls going to the bastion of Los Zetas. He accompanied his men in their mission to eradicate Los Zetas. It is rumored 300 Gulf Cartel men died in that incursion that last for 2 years and a couple months. Not sure how many "estacas" or hitmen squads Los Zeta lost. I'm sure they lost a lot too. To make Trevino ex Los Zetas leader stay close by to check how things were going on. To make matters worse X-20 tried to kill Mayo Zambada, the second most powerful Sinaloa Drug Boss and Co Leader of the Sinaloa Cartel on his way back on a meeting between him and Gulf Cartel leader Metro 3 and other top bosses or Gulf Cartel captains. Chapo cut ties with the Gulf Cartel after that. X-20 blamed the ambush on Los Zetas but it was well known he wasn't with the agreement the Sinaloa Cartel and Gulf Cartel made. So he killed his boss and declared himself the leader of the Gulf Cartel. Which up settled so many Gulf Cartel members which erupted into an internal war in Reynosa(one of the main HQ of the Gulf Cartel. All of top captains died and even Gringo died in those shootouts. Now the internal war has moved out of the HQs to outer towns. Now the lower ranking members occcassionally go at it. Now Mellado has been killed by the Army in a raid into his hideout. Which some of his men recorded shooting it out with the Army. Mellado was one of the highest and most respected members and always kept a low profile. It is rumored that he got snitched but who knows it is too early to tell. He was the last Los Zetas founder but he stayed loyal with his bosses and stayed with the Gulf Cartel. Same with Commadante Guerra but he was killed in an internal shootout a while back. It is said that some Gulf Cartel members didn't said trust him because of his Zeta past but it was not common to have cousins and family members stuck in the middle of the Gulf/Los Zetas split. Some los Zetas captains and local bosses switched sides back to the Gulf Cartel because of Gulf Cartel because of family ties. There was even rumors that some Los Zetas captain and local bosses had trities of seize fire with the Gulf behinds Z-40 back eventually switching sides.

Its extremely rare to see the actual gunmen record the fight. Seem like they are having fun lol.

So he's a pussy for being arrested instead of basically sticking a gun to his head and shooting himself? Buddy those Government slaves would've murdered him easily total suicide. Anyways you're literally all over their balls with this post : / but yet your name Is BorderProtector : )? By the way these guys do NOT keep a low profile I've seen It. I must say some of these stories are fascinating although I hate the dramatic affect It's had on everyone down there. These guys are fearless as well they even duke It out with machetes.

Well the reason I can him a pussy is because he X-2 was such a war mongerer. He was the head guy of security and enforcement for the Gulf Cartel and pumped himself as being fearless and hardcore but failed to meet his so what fearlesness when confronted. He would order new recruits aka suicide squads as they call them by both Los Zetas and Gulf Cartel. The reason they are called suicide squads is because new recruits are usually sent to contested areas to earn their "stripes". The reason they are called suicide squads is because they are the ones sent in first and the ones that cause the more chaos as the same times are the ones killed the most. Older and higher ranking members are in charge in more important areas such as border corridors, docks and important logistical areas for drug trafficking and distribution into the U.S and other countries etc. Gulf Cartel members are hardcore as fuck and having a top enforcer surrender is seen as being a pussy in the Gulf Cartel culture. What makes it worse is that X-2 didn't participate in the internal shootouts and wanted to extort and kidnap the shit out of Reynosa(Gulf HQ) which is a big no no especially for the Metros and Metro 3 himself. Thats why the Metros run him and his loyalist out of town. There is nothing worse than betraying your boss, being a war mongerer and enforcer and especially preying on innocents while pumping yourself to big shit. But when it became real to him he just surrender and being a snitch.
