A street view of Chilapa, Guerrero, Mexico on Friday, July 24, 2015. Two days prior to this photo a man was killed in front of this OXXO store. Rival drug gangs Los Rojos and Los Ardillos have been struggling for control of Chilapa, an important drug trafficking route. Reports say between 15 and 30 people from Chilapa went missing when a group of armed men entered the city last May and took control of the town for five days. Last fall, 43 students went missing in the same state.
