This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Los Chapitos, also known as Los Menores or La Chapiza, is a splinter group of the Sinaloa Cartel, currently engaged in a turf war with the factions of La Mayiza and Los Guanos. Currently they have control of Culiacan, Sinaloa. The faction is currently led by the sons of the notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman which they are known as Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar (alias "El Chapito") and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar (alias "Alfredillo") among others.^[1]

History

Since the mid 2010s, the Guzman brothers began playing a bigger role within the Sinaloa Cartel mainly after the capture of their father known as Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman in 2016, which became the priority of the Department of Justice.^[2]

On October 17, 2019, Ovidio Guzmán López was arrested after an arrest operation by SEDENA
