Videos captured the moments when employees were held at gunpoint and forced to watch helplessly as cartel hitmen set fire to the Emilio’s Taco shop they worked at in Celaya, Guanajuato. A similar attack happened at another Emilio’s location the next day.

Turns out this same chain of taco shops experienced a similar series of cartel attacks back in 2020 and a reputable source alleges it was due to the Cártel de Santa Rosa de Lima (CSRL) vs Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) war over drug sales territory.
