Ovidio Guzmán, the son of infamous drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, was arrested by Mexican authorities on Thursday, Fidel Gutierrez, Mitchell McCluskey, Tara John and Elizabeth Plaza report for CNN. Guzmán was arrested in what CNN called a ‘dramatic operation’ in the northern state of Sinaloa.
Clashes broke out in the city of Culiacán following Guzmán’s arrest, with local officials telling citizens to shelter at home. Social media videos show trucks on fire and intense shooting near the airport. The Sinaloa Cartel is a leader in narcotics trafficking which used to be run by El Chapo until he was sentenced to life in prison in 2020. Ovidio Guzmán is said to be a high-ranking member of the Cartel who has taken over a portion of the organization.
