María Guadalupe Jiménez López, an alleged enforcer for the Mexican Los Zetas drug cartel, was arrested last week in Monterrey in connection with a group accused of 20 murders, including those of rival gang members and police officers, according to Mexican newspaper La Crónica de Hoy.
According to Europa Press, Jiménez, aka "La Tosca," confessed to her involvement in 20 homicides after she was arrested along with three other women and three men who worked together.
Milenio reports that police noticed a van without plates fitting the description of a stolen vehicle, which led to the arrests, though none of the people arrested were armed at the time.
Jiménez is accused of leading a criminal cell allegedly responsible for a slew of crimes, including the murder of detective Antonio Montiel Álvarez. Jiménez claimed to have blocked off Álvarez's car with an SUV, and she and a squad opened fire with 9 mm rounds, Proceso reports. Other murders "La Tosca" allegedly headed up include the torture and killing of two youths whose bodies were left in a white Ranger on April 20 and three others killed in February in connection with an attempted car theft.
La Crónica de Hoy notes the 26-year-old widow was responsible for robberies, kidnappings, killing rival gang members and managing 14 drug hotspots in Juárez. For her efforts, "La Tosca" was paid 10,000 pesos every two weeks, or about $1,500 per month.
According to Proceso, Mexican authorities are investigating "La Tosca" and her group in association with other murders.
$1500 a month?! Wow, thats not even paying my monthly rent. With that said, you couldnt get me to sell my soul to the devil for 15 million. People got life and bullshit mixed up.....
ReplyDeleteWell lets not forget they win 10 times less our minimum wage working 6 days aweek 10+ hrs and a time were everything is going up and no jobs due to the violence. no foodstamps or chip or any helps, id be robbing to feed my kids as well

DeleteYeah maybe we grew up on different sides of the tracks, but I still was taught right from wrong and the value of life. There are millions of other Mexican people living in the same conditions but not involved in that crap, and still surviving. Not judging bro, just commenting on how stupid some people are when making desicions that can adversely affect their lives and their families for money #DUMB
DeleteThats 20,000 pesos a month. When the average mexican makes 2,000 pesos a month. That goes a long way. But fuck this stupid broad. I miss the old Narco days. When it was just one guy in the rancho making almost millions a month and pure exporting. He could care less about peanuts. And was a hero in the community.
ReplyDeleteYou so correct. Those were real capos. Not this ass holes want to be boss starting from shoe pulisher and car wash guy
DeleteI bet everyone she killed had it coming. Just like she's got it coming. It's dog eat dog, kill or be killed. Life is cheap and getting cheaper.
ReplyDeleteI guess feminists have made a full stride with this one! What in the world happened to these girls. I don't want to sound stupid, but I'm assuming that these people are stoned out of their heads when they kill and butcher other people. How can they stay even focused without throwing up. What are they on coke, crack, pills, heroin?
ReplyDeleteAll capos started from the bottom even back in the day pendejo..
ReplyDeleteYeah, a lot of these 'assassins' and 'gang bosses' with the multiple murders, it is much more indicative of a society infested, infected with poverty, these people weren't just born into this. I bet this women was washing windows 8 years ago.
ReplyDeleteLa Gente Nueva ya esta aqui pinche zetas pendejos.... El Chapo manda...
ReplyDeletedeath penalty in Mexico Mr. Calderon or when your elected Pena-Nieto.
ReplyDeleteWhen has poverty become a good excuse or reasonable argument for turning into a homicidal maniac? I know many Mexicans that make 4$ a day and still manage to live sane, reasonably happy lives. Yes they'd like more but they put their family's safety and well being before money.
ReplyDeleteAmen!!!

Life is different,they didn't have no opportunities whatsoever,unlike some postin on here all shocked and shit.These have got to do it.There is no other way to make money.Do you people also think that poverty and crime are not related?Fuck outta here,of course they related.I bet they would love to have an office job sittin on their ass and gettin payed good wages.But it will never happen,so they think fuck it,fuck you,and fuck the world.Violence,crime and poverty are brothers and sisters.The ones with the jobs,and the ones without.The ones with,want more laws,more protection for their good life.The ones without don't give a shit about anything.Maybe if as a society we tried to create more opportunities for young people,we may have less trouble?I,m alright Jack,most violent places on earth have one thing in common,guess what it is.
All she would have to do is look at them and they would die!

ReplyDeleteyou say mexico :fail right you got life fucked up .the united states is not no better just lastnight night there was a report on how a u.s soldier rape a in korea i think.and remembr that bitch soldier in afgahnistan that made the prisoners pose in homosexual poses.and crimerate is high as hell but thenagain you wouldnt know cause your probaly not a minorty .and guess what mexico didnt used to have a crack problem til your spilt over on our land yall been crackheads and crack dealers since the early 80's when the jamacian's introduced to yall and guess what theres whiteboys here in nuevo laredo walking around all cracked up talking to themselves whats that say about yall aleast we go to work and work hard for our money .so who failed here .
Here we go again, change the subject and place blame! We ate talking about being fucking civilized and not KILLING people to have a "BETTER" life! If you don't understand that then no matter what nationality you are your attitude and out look are a fucking FAILURE!
Delete@11:29 AM Ah, another highly educated history expert. And what type of work do you go to? Teaching US history perhaps. Or maybe creative writing. Maybe you teach international relations?
ReplyDeleteYour specialty must be hallucinogenic drugs because you are certainly tripping on something if you think the US is not a better, SAFER place than Mexico.
I'm glad someone on here has some sense!!
Deletethe u.s. is safer just the u.s.a covers up alot of thier problems i worked in an outreach program in dallas and saw alot of killings and alot of the drug problems the u.s faces.but i also seen alot of the vilolence in mexico due to when all the deportation started. so basically this violence is coming from american influence maybe you should consider going into the nieghborhoods where high crimerate is at and seeing for yourselves.mexico was not like this before. because of racial profiling and hate towards minorities there they have come with american ways of dealing with things.and since in mexico the law enforcement aint about shit .people took advantage of it.sorry the truth bothers you.
ReplyDeleteThe TRUTH dosent bother me, nobody is saying USA dosent have bad shit happening, but we don't make excuses for MURDER you fucking no brain! Oh she was poverty stricken don't be so hard on her. Are you fucking kidding me? You sound like joke!
DeleteI would rather die than to sleep next to her
ReplyDeleteAll this BS about Mexicans being poor and not having any choice but to kill for a living. That's a load of crap, Mexicans now aren't as poor as 50-100 years ago and people then had better values, now it's all about greed and wanting everything easy without appreciating it, if you're poor it doesn't make you a killer, there's probably lots of Mexicans who are poor but they don't get involved in murder, bottom line be it man or woman you'd have to be one cold, hard mother fker to kill anyone especially the way people in Mexico are getting killed.
ReplyDeletewho said 2000 pesos is the average we mexicans earn per month, that´s whT SOME EARN PER WEEK, ....
ReplyDeleteWELL, I WORK HARD EVERY DAY.
ReplyDeleteLIVE IN MEXICO, THERE´S NO EXCUSES FOR DOING WRONG;DRUG DEALER, SICARIO,OR SO. EVERY ONE LIVES THE WAY YOU WANT.
BUT U.S. SEES MEXICO LIKE A SICK VIOLENCE COUNTRY , YOU TOO HAVE YOUR PROBLEMS SOME WORST, BUT YOU ARE THE COUNTRY THAT DO AND SAY WHAT YOU WANT,STOP SENDING ARMS TO MEXICO, TO STOP BUYING DOPE,STOP WATCHING YOURSELF AS THE BEAUTIFULL LITTLE RICH BITCHAND TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN PROBLEMS AND LET US DEAL WITH OURS.
"TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN PROBLEMS AND LET US DEAL WITH OURS"
ReplyDeleteHey genius,you got it.Fuck knows we wish you all felt like that,and left us the fuck alone.
Fuckin whine whine whine,all you get from Mexicans.Its all the fault of the USA.
Crying little bitches,your mess you deal with it.
Leave the US out of this pile of shit,please.
"The TRUTH dosent bother me, nobody is saying USA dosent have bad shit happening, but we don't make excuses for MURDER you fucking no brain! Oh she was poverty stricken don't be so hard on her. Are you fucking kidding me? You sound like joke!"
ReplyDeleteYou must be from a different planet. The USA does not make excuses for its failures because IT COVERS THEM UP. THE USA HAS MORE VIOLENT DEATHS IN ONE YEAR THAN MEXICO HAS IN THREE OF FOUR YEARS PUT TOGETHER. LOOK AT THE FACTUAL STATISTICS ON THE USA GOV WEBSITES. STOP USING DOPE AND GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS.
For him who points to the United States as having more violent deaths, pls consider the facts. Murders in US per 100k population -4.8 Mexico 18 per 100k.
ReplyDeleteMore... Perhaps, Chances of being murdered, not even close. Crying shame too as Mexico used to be a great place while having wonderful people
