Two butcher shops have been attacked by criminals in the past month in Villahermosa, Tabasco as a local crime group seeks to levy new extortion fees on the sector.

The most recent attack occurred at carnicería Grijalva on the morning of 4 May, when two workers were shot and killed. No witnesses have spoken to the media describing the attacker.

On April 21, a manager was shot and killed inside at El Jarocho Carnicerías in the El Espejo I neighborhood, also in Villahermosa. The business remains closed as a result. The three attackers were later captured by authorities in possession of firearms and narcotics.

Organized crime groups in Mexico often engage in sector wide extortion, imposing taxes on all businesses of the same type in a region. The case of lime farmers in Michoacán is the most infamous, but criminal groups target tire repair shops in Guanajuato, and bars in Quintana Roo.

Extortion rates in Mexico have reached their highest level ever. Combatting extortion is a main focus of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s security policy. Sheinbaum is working to pass new legislation stiffening penalties for extortion and increasing government capacity to investigate the crime.
