Roman Miranda was identified by the government of Morelos as the leader of the cartel "Los Rojos".  He escaped on December, 10, 2012 after being arrested when he and his then boss, Crisoforo Rogelio Maldonado Jimenez, "El Bocinas", were attacked by their rivals the "Guerreros Unidos".

The attack left both injured.  Crisoforo was taken to the hospital, but Antonio escaped with the help of the ministerial police who have been linked to the escape. Meanwhile, Crisoforo was transported from IMSS to Medica Sur  in Mexico City where sicarios disguised like nurses got access to his room and excecuted him.

The identity of the alleged leader, Antonio Roman Miranda, was confirmed by the PGJE by fingerprint evidence.
Authorities  have identified the nephew of Román Antonio Miranda, as one of the three young men executed and abandoned at the side of the Mexico-Acapulco highway.
The nephew of “La Mona,” Jose Trinidad Mena Mendez, 22, was executed along with Alexander Pineda Zamudio, 24, and Oscar Leon Horacio de la Rocha, 36, originating from  Jojutla.
According to ministry officials, Jose Trinidad was also recognized as the leader of  the southern part of the state,  he was in charge of ordering “levantones” (kidnappings) in addition to the trafficking of drugs.
Jose Trinidad, Oscar Alexander and Horace were found shot to death, bound hand and foot, and dumped on  one side of the Mexico-Acapulco highway, at km 125, up to deviation to Ixtla Bridge, where  fourteen 9 mm caliber shell casings were found.

  1. no place to safely post my families ongoing ordeal so here i am. as i sit here i know i cannot say much but it feels good that some here care about what happens in mexico. we are all very scared and more so now that the men who took my father are now looking for the families that they kicked out of their homes. why if they had us in their hands and let us go are they looking for us again??
    leave us alone to mourn the loss of my father and all that we had built. only two weeks now and my old home is occupied by the men who made my father disappear soon to be a nightclub or bar or restaurant.
    no pity shame or remorse. be warned Americans you take the cartels too light.

  3. Wonder who killed them, did Snitchaloa backstab them to gain their territory?

    It would make sense, who else would that much information regarding their where abouts and members of their group.

    Or was it the Zetas or the CDG?

  6. 14.9mm casings!!! There is no way they still have a head if this is accurate. A 14.9 mm rifle round is meant for super long range sniping makes a 50 cal look elementary, im talking out to 5000 yards, 50 football fields! And just for you readers to know, this guy did not LEAD or COMMAND the ROJOS, he was high up but not the main leader

    I checked again to see if I made an error, and that is exactly what they have is 14.9MM. I think maybe the . was supposed to be a, as in 14 casing of 9MM

    I changed it to reader fourteen of 9 mm and going with your knowledge. thank you and good night.

  12. Mistakes like that happen when you have zero formal training in journalism. The header itself says that he was killed two time. WTF?

    ReplyDelete
  13. @12:45 oh okay Chivis, 14 9mm does sound more believable. the only place ive see/heard of a 14.9mm being used is when I was in IRAQ there was a sniper named the ghost and that was his weapon of choice. I know they are very hard to get and never heard of the round being used in Mexico, I understand why being that the rifle is about 1/3 larger than the Barret 50 cal. Not a round I would want to cross paths with. but that being said I did not mean to correct you I meant it just as amazement on my part.

  14. i feel both a sense of relief and terror when one of these terrorists gets killed. just like i felt when Lazcano got killed . . . Some one as evil as him left the Earth but at the same time someone as evil as him replaced him.

    The HUGE mistake you pointed out, the word repeat, was not due to lack of education it was due to 3 hours sleep and working all day. This was my last post of the day. Sure am happy you appreciated it.


    Thanks TexGma ...paz chivis

    Since the NL assassination of the state police I think in Dec, there have been 4 confirmed 50 cal weapons used. And from the NE to the south Dr Bunker told me this would be the next regression and it was. Now I wonder what is next. a 14.9 I have never heard of and after your comment and seeing how insanely long it is I think it was a mistake and they meant to say fourteen 9mm casing....thank you!

  19. Here's an article about the murder a reader says involved his father. Tomas Ciru Jimenez was murdered, along with two other men, by eight men in police uniforms, in Puerto Cortez, Honduras.
