Violence has soared in Sinaloa since the capture in the U.S. of cartel co-founder Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada almost a year ago.

In September, Zambada pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking, murder and other charges in a New York court. The violence in Sinaloa has killed more than 1,200 people, according to official figures.

Joaquin Guzman Lopez is also in U.S. custody. He and another longtime Sinaloa leader, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, were arrested in July in Texas after they landed in the U.S. on a private plane.
