The Northeast Cartel is a Mexican criminal organization that is the product of a split from Los Zetas, born from the capture of its last absolute leader: Omar Treviño Morales, nickname Z-42.
The last violent acts in which the existence of armed groups in La Paz and Comondú was verified, triggered the signals of the Baja California Sur Security Secretariat, because they were events caused by the exact same criminal group, such as the attack on municipal agents de Comondú in Constitución Town on the night of September 25, where precisely 15 heavily armed gunmen were videotaped savagely beating the elements.
Apart from the irruption of a commando armed with attack rifles on the night of Saturday, October 8, at the moment when 30 armed men entered the Chapel of San Juan Bautista in San Juan de los Proyectos -La Paz council- and tried to to seize a couple from Tijuana, Baja California, but unable to find them, they picked up another couple who would release hours later.

From the shelter to Punta de Lanza
How and why Los Zetas settled in Monterrey is the beginning of a long explanation of what they are and how they work. The group, as it is documented, was not in all cases free to carry out what it wanted. It was a part of a much larger composition, one of the many private armies that were indebted to the Gulf Sign. This sign operated for quite some time in and near the Monterrey metropolitan area (from now on, when I speak of Monterrey or the area, I am referring to the «Monterrey Metropolitan» area, which as defined by the government statistics office, INEGI, understands the municipalities of Apodaca, García, Escobedo General, Guadalupe, Juárez, Monterrey, San Nicolás de los Garza, San Pedro Garza García, Santa Catarina and Santiago). The first leader of the Gulf Cartel, Juan García Abrego, was captured on the outskirts of this town. But his replacement, Osiel Cárdenas, was less enthusiastic in Monterrey and kept his distance. As reported, the Zetas as well.
In any case, Monterrey is not the birthplace of Los Zetas. It’s not where your superiors come from. It has no particular connection to Zeta lore. They didn’t consider it a space to conduct business until recently. Monterrey was considered another refuge for the huge drug traffickers, a space where they could send their families to protect them from the cruelty of Juárez, Tijuana or Culiacán. Amado Carrillo, the legendary «Lord of the Skies,» reportedly moved his wife and children to San Pedro Garza García, on the outskirts of the region, in the 1990s. Others did the same .
