Blundering drug cartel hitmen have reportedly murdered their own boss in a shocking case of mistaken identity.
The shootout took place at a private health clinic in Culiacán, Mexico, last Thursday night (September 28).
Sinaloa Cartel gunmen loyal to Los Chapitos - the sons of infamous drug lord Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán - are thought to have been at the hospital guarding another man who was receiving treatment.
Videos have since emerged on social media purporting to show El 22's funeral. In them, flower displays are seen alongside the names of El Chapo's sons, with the big bosses clearly keen to show their respect.
A gunfight broke out when another armed man showed up. According to El Blog del Narco, that man was the elusive "El 22" - thought to have been the gangster responsible for running the cartel's operations in Guamúchil, Sinaloa.
"That's the bad thing about not knowing the boss," a source said. It is thought that El 22 was visiting the clinic in order to pay for the wounded man's surgery. The gunmen assumed he was a rival hitman coming to finish the injured man off.
Four people died in the fighting including Dr Otniel Montoya, who was caught in the crossfire.
One of the hitmen who killed his own boss required medical attention when the fighting came to an end.
It has been reported that he used a gun on himself after realising his fatal mistake, choosing to take his own life rather than face whatever gruesome punishment the cartel would've had in store for him.
Tough day at the office.
It’s probably bad business to recruit personnel from Rent a Henchman.
Bonehead move by the killer.
When YOU kill the boss, you become the NEW BOSS.
Guess he missed class when that was covered.
Gee, what a shame..*tsk*tsk*

A bullet was the merciful option.
And everyone says there is no good news anymore.
Died doing what he loved, surrounded by family.
“When YOU kill the boss, you become the NEW BOSS.”
But not when you kill the boss’ son and the boss is still alive.
You just can’t get good hitmen these days.
2 Kings 8:12
…11Elisha fixed his gaze steadily on him until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God began to weep.
12“Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil you will do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set fire to their fortresses, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little ones to pieces, and rip open their pregnant women.”
13“But how could your servant, a mere dog, do such a monstrous thing?” said Hazael. And Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram.”…
14So Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he replied, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
15But the next day Hazael took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over the king’s face. So Ben-hadad died, and Hazael reigned in his place.…
It’s good to be da king!
A heartfelt apology would probably have been fine.
Thought it was the Babylon Bee!
