Members of the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel are interrogating a “halcón” (lookout/informant) who says he works for a man identified as “Martín.” Martín is reportedly linked to Antonio Martínez Calderón, alias “La Tripa,” of the CJNG. During the interrogation, the man accuses Public Security officials in Valle de Santiago, Guanajuato, members of the group “Reacción,” and several commanders of collaborating with the CJNG. He claims municipal police officers handed over captured rivals directly to Martín, who then made them disappear.

The influencer and adult content creator Nicolette Pardo Molina, widely known online as "La Nicholette" (or "La Muchacha del Salado"), was reportedly kidnapped on January 20, 2026, in the Isla Musalá neighborhood of Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico. The incident occurred in the afternoon near Plaza 11:11 (around 4-5 PM local time), where she was intercepted by armed men, reportedly 2-3 individuals, some appearing quite young, who arrived in a white Toyota Corolla (or similar vehicle). They forced her into their car after a struggle, as captured on video by her own vehicle's cameras. Her distinctive purple (or lilac/morado) Tesla Cybertruck was left abandoned at the scene and later secured by authorities. As of now, her whereabouts remain unknown, with no confirmed updates on her location or condition. The Sinaloa state prosecutor's office has activated the Protocolo Alba (a protocol for locating missing women) to aid in the search. This event has drawn significant attention due to the viral footage and her public profile as a TikTok/Instagram creator, entrepreneur (including a boutique and merchandise like caps), and OnlyFans personality, often recognized for her flashy lifestyle and the custom Cybertruck. Authorities have not released an official motive, though local speculation in some reports mentions possible links to organized crime.

A 33-year-old man known as “Sheik das Apostas” (“Sheikh of Bets”) was shot dead in the reception of a gym in Santana, in the northern zone of São José dos Campos, São Paulo. Evandro Luiz Prudente was sitting and looking at his phone when a gunman opened fire, striking him multiple times in the head. Police recovered 16 spent casings at the scene. Security footage shows the attack lasting roughly 10 to 13 seconds. The shooter fled on a black motorcycle with an accomplice. The bike was later found abandoned near the SP-50 (Rodovia Monteiro Lobato). Investigators then tracked a car tied to the escape and arrested three suspects hours later in Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro. Civil Police are still working to establish a motive. One line of inquiry is that Prudente, originally from Rio Grande do Sul, had received threats there before moving to the São José dos Campos area.

In Mexico’s mountains, remote zones, and rural heartlands, one of the most striking displays of cartel power is the massive convoys of 4x4 trucks packed with heavily armed hitmen. This collection features convoys linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), the Sierra Cartel (Tlacos), the Guasave Cartel, the Northeast Cartel, Los Metros, Los Mayos, Los Chapitos, and other groups fighting for control across different regions of the country. These long columns of pickup trucks and homemade-armored vehicles roll through roads, towns, and mountain trails, not merely traveling from point A to point B. They patrol territory, move fighters and supplies, reinforce positions, and send a clear message of intimidation to rival organizations.
