All over Mexico, at least in the many places I've been, you'll find ceramic figurines known as "Catrinas" that are made and sold to celebrate La Dia De Los Muertes, or The Day of the Dead. They have been around a lot longer than drug gangs.

Now criminal nuts are embracing it with gusto. Sounds like criminal version of Boxers in 19th century China.
