A group of cartel gunmen left three severed human heads and a narco-banner next to a military base in Cancun.
The gruesome crime scene comes as rival cartels fight for control of the lucrative local drug distribution, trafficking, and money laundering businesses in the region.
The case took place this week outside of a Mexican Army base in Cancun, the local news outlet NotiCaribe reported. Military forces first went outside the base after getting a call of a banner hanging outside the fence. When the soldiers went to remove the banner, they found three severed heads next to it and called state authorities to document the crime scene.
Authorities took the banner, which showed a series of threats from one criminal organization to the other. While the cartel responsible is not named, the violence in Cancun and other parts of the state of Quintana Roo is tied to a fierce turf war where factions of the Sinaloa Cartel clash with factions of Cartel Jalisco New Generation for control of various illegal enterprises including the local distribution of drugs, drug trafficking routes, local sex trade, and others.
