The operation to detain Ovidio Guzman, the son of imprisoned drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, unleashed firefights that turned the northern city of Culiacan into a war zone with 30 dead, authorities said Friday.
Mexico's defense secretary said the military had captured Ovidio Guzmán, a son of the notorious former Sinaloa cartel boss Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, on Thursday in a pre-dawn operation in Sinaloa.
Mexico's capture of a son of the imprisoned drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman thrust Sinaloa's state capital into a day of terror unlike any its residents had experienced since October 2019.
