Cartel Landscape of the Area
As previously written on Borderland Beat by MX earlier this year, Cadereyta is a strategic point for oil theft activities because there is a 488-kilometer (300 miles), 10-inch pipeline within the municipality that connects all the way to Madero city, Tamaulipas. The pipeline also connects internationally with a pipeline located in Brownsville, Texas.

During the attack that killed Ulises, CDG local boss José Mauro Flores Garza, alias “El Win”, were injured. El Win is allegedly well connected with the Cadereyta Municipal Police. El Win’s group of hitmen is primarily composed of both active and former police officers. His group allegedly dealt in executions, kidnappings, drug dealing, and oil theft activities in the area. The attack at the cockfighting arena was reportedly carried out by Ivan Peña Hernandez ('El Peñitas), a former CDG member who left the organization to join up with CDN.
