The Familia Michoacana drug cartel has dominated rural areas in the state for years, but may now be trying to move into the state capital.
A violent drug cartel is suspected of leaving a severed human leg found hanging from a pedestrian bridge Wednesday in Toluca, just west of Mexico City. Before the day was out, parts of at least two bodies had turned up around the city.
Other parts of the body were found later in another neighborhood, also with handwritten drug cartels signs nearby. The victim was apparently a man aged between 35 and 40.Police discovered a dismembered body in a neighborhood on the city's east side, along with a sign similar to those in the first case.
The mayor of Toluca, which is the capital of the State of Mexico, appealed for calm. The Familia Michoacana has dominated rural areas in the state for years, but may now be trying to take over the state capital."The issue of crime brings us all together, and we all have to fight it," said Mayor Raymundo Martínez Carbajal.
