Security and organized crime in Michoacán

Overview

Security operations in Michoacán have focused on combating extortion and organized crime. In early September, authorities reported the detention of six targets linked to criminal groups in Uruapan, Apatzingán, and the western region, specifically those targeting avocado and lemon producers. During this period, Luis Enrique ‘N’, a leader of the Los Reyes Cartel, was killed in Tocumbo. State officials noted a 28 percent decrease in homicides during August compared to the previous year.

By mid-September, security incidents continued in the state. In northern Morelia, police seized two vehicles following an encounter where armed individuals threatened officers during an investigation into homicide and attempted homicide. While the suspects fled the scene before a direct confrontation occurred, authorities launched a security operation in the sector to locate them.
