Notorious Mexican drug cartel boss ‘El Chabelo’ gunned down in wild shootout after cockfight bloodbath

A notorious Mexican cartel boss was gunned down in a shootout with police — after pulling off a hit at a local cockfight that left two dead and others wounded, according to reports.

Jose “El Chabelo” Isabel, the top honcho for the Sinaloa Cartel in the Mexican city of Manzanillo, got into a fatal shootout with cops after he and his cohort pulled off the cockfight bloodbath on Sunday, according to the Spanish-language news outlet Excelsior.

Isabel’s crew stormed into the clandestine arena in the Las Parotas neighborhood and opened fire on the crowd, killing two before fleeing, the reports said.

A Mexican national police squad caught up with the gunmen, leading to a wild shootout that left Isabel and his unidentified accomplice dead, the outlet reported.

Isabel, believed to be a “plaza boss” for the cartel in the city, was already wanted on a homicide warrant before the fatal encounter, Latin Times said in a report.

Prosecutors in Colima have not released details on the victims other than to identify Isabel among them.

National data show that Colima, part of the country’s Pacific coastline, reported 623 homicides between January and October this year, Latin Times said.

Good riddance. Needs to be 20-30 stories like this.

This would (and probably is) happening in towns like Paducah, Kentucky if Kam got in.

Your post makes no sense. What’s happening in Paducah and who/what is Kam?

I think the post means this same stuff is happening in our country - Kam is Kamala Harris.

This isn't third world, is there such a thing as 4th World. Sheesh. These cartel bosses need to be rounded up and jailed.

Yes, and nine of them will be killed by the one surviving.
Those “succession fights” seem to be the best gang reduction strategies.

There used to be lots of people raising fighting cocks in this area for fights in the Cherokee Nation areas till it was banned. Now I often see a Mexican household with the same setups hidden in their back yards.

Good. They kill so many—they should suffer as well.
