Overview
- The detainee faces five active arrest warrants issued by Sonora’s state prosecutor’s office.
- Authorities link him to the Dec. 29, 2023 attack at a Ciudad Obregón XV años party that left eight dead and 26 injured.
- FGJES worked with the state investigative agency and Mexico’s Navy, using tattoo analysis and distinctive physical traits to verify his identity.
- Officials had offered a 500,000‑peso reward, and reports indicate he fled to Chihuahua under a false identity.
- He is also accused of qualified homicides, attempted homicides, aggravated illegal deprivation of liberty and criminal association allegedly committed in 2024–2025, as local insecurity remains high with 88% of adults feeling unsafe and the Cajeme mayor denying police collusion.
