A surge in violence in Colima – including numerous murders between Monday and Friday last week – is the result of a scission between the Independent Cartel of Colima
and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG)
Government sources who spoke with the newspaper said that Los Mezcales had acted as the armed wing of the CJNG in the small Pacific coast state
but its sicarios decided to switch allegiances to the Sinaloa Cartel
The first manifestation of the split was a brawl in late January between CJNG and Independent Cartel members imprisoned at a prison in Colima city
Ten inmates were killed and seven others were injured
The feuding inmates were housed together because they previously identified as belonging to the same criminal group
Violence subsequently broke out on the streets of Colima city and the neighboring municipality of Villa de Álvarez
on which the CJNG and Los Mezcales threatened each other and Governor Indira Vizcaíno
have appeared in the Colima city-Villa de Álvarez metropolitan area
After days of silence
the Colima Attorney General’s Office (FGE) reported last Friday that police were investigating crimes including homicide and attempted murder committed last week in Colima city
the FGE acknowledged 15 murders or discoveries of bodies between Monday and Friday of last week
It said that additional human remains were found in two different locations last Tuesday but didn’t specify the number of victims
and noted that six people were wounded in armed attacks and one person was abducted
The FGE also said that two people were arrested in possession of firearms last Tuesday
It said the spate of violence was the result of a dispute between criminal groups
but didn’t specifically mention the CJNG or Los Mezcales
The former is one of the two most powerful cartels in Mexico, the other being the Sinaloa Cartel. The CJNG’s leader, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, is a wanted man both here and in the United States
Los Mezcales was formed in and takes its name from Mezcalito
a Colima city neighborhood known for crime and described by Milenio as one of the “key points” for the distribution of drugs in the capital
The gang is led by a man known as “El Vaca” (The Cow)
whose identity hasn’t been disclosed by authorities

the development is based on a modular system of volumes
allowing for flexible arrangements and the ability for homes to be extended in size
the project focuses on external spaces that help blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor environments while also providing natural light and ventilation

the box-like volumes are designed by zeller & moye to afford both single and multi-story configurations
the units are also created as a separate space
each one having a front door and a covered terrace
the residents can access different parts of the house via the garden areas rather than using typical corridor spaces to circulate
the prototype is designed with a great importance placed on garden space
outdoor cooking and dining is facilitated with the implementation of a cooking pit and table
making the external space as vital as the indoor environment and referencing the country’s traditional rural housing
the boxes also open up onto shaded terraces
giving relief from the hot sun thanks to the micro-climate that the plants provide
and allowing for social interaction between residents
