MEXICO – AUGUST 21, 2026 Members of the Mexican Cartel Santa Rosa de Lima (CSRL) kidnapped a man identified as José Guadalupe Fuentes, who, according to their information, was cooperating with a rival faction. They first interrogated him and forced him to confess on camera. They then cold-bloodedly executed him by beheading him with a machete.
The incident is a grim reminder of the dangers and brutal practices of all cartels, gangs, and other criminal organizations. Stay as far away from them as possible. Human life has no value to these people.
