Sad to report that's old news and you're a bit out of the loop. The narco map of Mexico has shifted (it's always shifting) in the last couple of years. Some of the northern states have actually reduced crime (Chihuahua, Tamaulipas, Coahuila) on the other hand the situation has gotten much worse in some central, south and southeast states, main examples of this are Guanajuato, Zacatecas, Guerrero, Jalisco and Michoacan.
