Mexican security officers have captured the son of the notorious drug lord, Joaquin El Chapo Guzman.

Members of the Sinaloa cartel went on the rampage after the arrest, shooting at military and civilian aircraft at Culiacan airport, hoping to free Ovidio Guzman-Lopez. They also torched several vehicles in the city, with three security officers reported to have been killed. Guzman-Lopez is accused of running the cartel after his father’s arrest in 2016. He’d been on the run since 2019, when he was captured, but then released by order of the president, who said it was an attempt to restore peace with the cartel.
