Four human heads with a 'narco message' found in Zacatecas

An anonymous call to the police tipped off authorities about four abandoned coolers at a bus stop in the road fron OjoCaliente to Luis Moya, two municipalities located on the border with the state of Aguascalientes, inside the coolers there were four human heads.

Along with the cooler, the officers found narco banners with the following message.

 "Feliz día de los Muertos. Un cordial saludo del CDG (Cártel del Golfo) para los Talibanes. Sigan retando al 51. No supieron controlar su gente”

"Happy Day of the Dead. Regards from CDG (Gulf Cartel) to the Talibanes. Keep on challenging El 51. You couldn't control your people".



Police received the notice at 7 in the morning. Elements of the corporation went to the site and found the coolers with human heads at a public transportation stop located at the junction to Ciudad Cuauhtémoc.

The finding was later confirmed by Attorney General of Justice, Leticia Soto Acosta.


This is the fifth human head drop in the Zacatecas area in less than a week.

On Wednesday 21 another head was found on similar conditions, also on the road that leads to Ciudad Cuauhtemoc, near the Cieneguitas community, a municipality of Guadalupe.


This head was found inside a school bag pack outside a store. The head belonged to a man between 50 to 55 years old, who was shot dead, according to the PGJE.

So far, none of the victims have been identified, nor have the police found the rest of the bodies.
