EXCLUSIVE: MEXICAN BORDER RESIDENTS WARNED TO STAY INDOORS AS CARTEL LEADER EMERGES

War has broken out in this Mexican border city immediately south of Brownsville, Texas, as members of the Gulf Cartel fight for control of the criminal syndicate following the capture of one of their top leaders. Through a myriad of sources, Breitbart Texas has identified the likely successor to the captured cartel leader.

The conflict has escalated to the point that the mayor of Matamoros Leticia Salazar has issued out public statements telling her residents to stay indoors while authorities work to regain the peace.

The large-scale gun battles are the result of one man trying to keep the Gulf Cartel faction known as Los Ciclones from crumbling. As reported by Breitbart’s Cartel Chronicles, on Friday Mexican authorities arrested Angel Eduardo “Ciclon 7 or Orejon” Prado Rodriguez who was the top leader within the Los Ciclones faction of the Gulf cartel.
