Mexican authorities kill one of country's top fentanyl traffickers

1. The Pigeon Bites The Dust

In Sinaloa, a raid broke the spell,
Where “El Pichón” was said to excel.
When the navy closed in,
Shots of chaos began—
And the trafficker’s empire fell.

A kingpin who trafficked with guile,
Moved fentanyl mile after mile.
But the forces struck hard,
Caught his crew off their guard,
Bringing ends to a long-running file.

With his father, he’d long held command,
Moving tens of tons contraband.
But one record-size haul
Made authorities call
For a crackdown that swept through the land.

The Mexican navy advanced with intent,
Aiming justice where countless lives went.
Two were taken alive,
But one didn’t survive—
Thus concluded a grave incident.
