TL;DR Summary

The mutilated remains of up to a dozen people were found in Monterrey, Mexico, suggesting a gang purge. The discovery comes after a decrease in violence in recent years.

The cartel's leader was arrested earlier this year, leading to rival gangs trying to take advantage of the power vacuum.
