The state police said they received a call about it at around 6:45 a.m. Periodico AM reported that the security forces immediately responded to the scene and found the said human heads on top of the said vehicle.

Authorities also discovered eight black plastic bags with dismembered human remains inside the vehicle. Along with the heads and bags, a large poster with an intimidating message was posted beside the car.

Authorities believed that the murdered individuals were victims of drug gang-related violence because of the message written on the canvas that gave a warning against kidnapping and drug selling.

As translated by Newsweek, the sign read: "In Chilapa, it's strictly prohibited to sell or use crystal, kidnap, extort and steal. This is going to happen to anyone who's messing around. All these crimes have capital punishment and the rules must be followed. The square has an owner and is respected."

In a statement, the State Attorney General's Office said the six individuals have not yet been identified but have been sent to the Forensic Medical Service.

Mexico's State of Guerrero Plagued by Mexican Drug Cartels 

Mexico's state of Guerrero is reportedly plagued by Mexican drug cartels dedicated to drug trafficking and extortion. The Independent Cartel of Acapulco is one of the drug cartels operating in Guerrero, particularly in the city of Acapulco.

The said cartel is reportedly fighting the Jalisco Cartel for control of the Port of Acapulco and other points in the state. Acapulco is known as a key entryway for South American cocaine, making the city an attractive piece of real estate for drug cartels.

According to Borderland Beat, Guerrero has been hit by organized crime groups in recent years, and in 2021, the state experienced a strong wave of violence.

During the first two months of 2022, the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System reported that Guerrero recorded 201 intentional homicides, of which 64 were registered in Acapulco.

Independent Cartel of Acapulco Founder Who Is Among Generators of Violence in Mexico's Guerrero State Arrested

Authorities in Mexico on Wednesday arrested Abdner Noe "N," alias "El Traumado," one of the founders of the Independent Cartel of Acapulco.

El Traumado, who was arrested in the city of Tonala in Jalisco state, was accused of being an alleged murderer and generator of violence in Guerrero.

El Tramaudo was linked to homicides and extortions against merchants and owners in public markets in Acapulco and the suburban area.

Apart from being one of the founders of the Independent Cartel of Acapulco, El Traumado was also considered the leader of the criminal group Los Magnos Acevedo.

According to Insight Crime, the Independent Cartel of Acapulco or Cartel Independiente de Acapulco (CIDA) is part of a wave of smaller local gangs in Acapulco that have emerged after officials dismantled larger criminal groups.

The CIDA, founded in 2010, was formed as a result of Mexico's war on the Beltran Leyva cartel, which controlled the city. At that time, many of the cartel's top leaders were arrested and killed, and its drug shipments were interrupted, paving the way for the smaller and more agile Acapulco cartel to be formed.

The CIDA is comprised mostly of former members of the drug trafficking group run by Edgar Valdez Villarreal, alias "La Barbie," who had long been the right hand of Arturo Beltran Leyva, the leader of the Beltran Leyva cartel.

When Arturo was gunned down in December 2009, his brother Hector Beltrán Leyva took control of one of the factions of the cartel and declared war on Valdez Villarreal.

Amidst the violence, Valdez Villarreal tried to appoint a successor. However, those in Acapulco broke off and formed their own criminal gang - the Independent Cartel of Acapulco. After several weeks, the CIDA reportedly broke up too, and a new and rival group known as La Barredora was formed.

In August 2010, Villarreal Valdez was arrested by federal police in Mexico, but the violence between the groups for the control of Acapulco continued.
