Crecencio "El Chencho" Beltran Murillo, old school CAF

The backstory of Chencho Beltran

He was born in Durango but raised in Pueblos Unidos, Sinaloa. 

The Beltran Murillo family started trafficking in the 80's, when everything was a brotherhood between the Zambadas and Arellanos. A problematic family who spread terror across the small towns. However, unlike his brothers, Chencho was really discrete and "chinga quedito" (Passive aggressive). Tired of complaints and with problems in the border region, Zambada invites Chencho, however instead of meeting Zambada, Chencho along with his brothers go and look for the head of hitman of Zambada but they only found his wife who was pregnant. The older brother of the Beltran Murillo's was known for being alcoholic, violent and addicted to cocaine promptly decided to kill her. Chencho, skilled and ambitious knew exactly what it was coming.

No drug lord will ever forgive the murder of a family member and the family of the older Chencho Beltran brother was left with no other option than to move to Veracruz where he was cruelly assassinated. Back then Culiacan and Tijuana were already having problems(1989). Ramon Arellano had already killed "El Rayo" at club Britannia and knew that Chencho Beltran was a key component in the conflict. With more problems surrounding him, in Pueblos Unidos the brother of Arturo Villareal Heredia aka "El 6-1" is assassinated. Therefore Chencho decided to invite "El 6-1" to Tijuana to serve him as ally, brother in law and friend.

Chencho, smart and with great ability to manipulate people, knew how violent and impulsive Arturo Villareal was and he placed him in front of him along the side of Ramon Arellano. 6-1, as a "leading man" was fascinated. With this, Chencho plans the famous massacre of "El cajoncito". With his ability to manipulate people, he informs Arturo Villareal that he knows where Javier Torres "El JT" was going to be. Chencho knew that JT was not going to be there, but he knew that his family would be there and Chencho wanted vengeance for his brother. Chencho knew that Arturo Villareal was going to act quick and that is exactly what happened.

JT was devastated and just like that the Beltran Murillo family violated one of the most important codes of honor among traffickers that states that "family is untouchable" once again. Chencho, skilled at manipulating 6-1 and him hiding in the clandestine side was fundamental for the economy and to start collecting money for "la plaza" of the Arellano Felix brothers. Chencho frequently invited friends and cousins to Tijuana in order to traffic. He was good on the first deal and was extremely punctual to the point where other traffickers usually came back with double money and they were often robbed or kidnapped.

Ramon was assassinated in Sinaloa and Benjamin was arrested in Puebla, Mexico. "El Tigrillo" was left commanding the AFO. Chencho knew he was young and enjoyed partying and at that moment  he used his puppet and brother in law "El 6-1" who does whatever he wants to do with the young Tigrillo. They partied so much that they were captured together on a yacht,  while fishing for marlin and with an extreme hangover.

Fernando Sanchez Arellano (nephew of Eduardo Arellano Felix)was known as "El Ingeniero". When he arrived to the city of Tijuana he was really young, with bipolar disorder and the only experience he knew was the war games that he played in his XBOX for which he was known. When Chencho realized that this young kid was useless and that the only backup he had was the Arellano last name he decided to breakaway.

With the power and control of Zambada in Tijuana, Chencho sends "Don Balas" to ask for a truce in order to gain time and to organize and offense. Zambada does not forgive him.

"Don Balas" refused to fight because he feared for the life of his son "El Balitas". The one that supports Chencho is his second in command, a drug trafficker with little experience to fight, Jose Luis Escudero Escandon "El quieto" o "Pelus".

He is also supported by "Manotas Tapia", known for snitching on "el Cholo" for not giving him a position in the cartel that was supposed to obtain. Mesien e Isaac "Ripa" Barcenas, who enjoy bragging but have little experience and carry young inexperience males such as "El flako" y "el Kado", with promises of power and giving them feelings of importance and fame in order to make them feel important and to manipulate them easily. Most of them end up killed in shootouts.

The question is, will Chencho be able to get away with all this or he is only using them while the manipulates his known "Mencho" from Guadalajara, who knows, he thinks like a roman emperor but can he make a lot with that?
