* Juan Lorenzo Vargas, El Chan, with whom he operates the criminal logistics for drug trafficking in the south of the country to Tijuana.

Of his criminal partners already detained, they identified he was also head of bodyguards for Don Balas, Azael Hernandez Pena, El Jaguar, arrested in February of 2014, in the company of Jose Alfredo Baena Ibarra, in possession of two rifles, three pistols and 100 rounds of ammunition of various calibres, in the vicinity of the shopping centre of Pueblo Amigo, as well as two Sinoalenses, Omar Guadlupe Ayon Diaz and Osvaldo Contreras Arriaga from Colombia, in September of 2015 he was extradited to the United States for having laundered in two years, 45,000,000 dollars, belonging to the Sinaloa cartel, through exchange houses in Tijuana, one of them the Exchange Center Bulevar.

FROM EL DEBATE, for those newcomers to BB who have no knowledge of El Guero Chihuahua.

His nickname is linked to the wave of violence that is affecting Tijuana, El Guero Chihuahua or El Traxx.

The Police detained him nine years ago. In the company of a Lieutenant of Javier Arellano, El Tegrillo, he had been made in the streets of the frontier town, cleaning them of Municipal Police and rival groups.

His accomplice, Jose Manuel Lopez Nunez, alias Don Balas, who was set free in 2011. But for him this had not happened, I don't know how or when he was liberated.

He had been commander of one of the most violent cells of the Cartel Arellano Felix, and had been accused of the attempting to take the life of the Director of the State Preventative Police. Those new to the street and the cartel sicarios that fell into the hands of the authorities refuse to talk about him.

Oscar Adan Rodriguez Guevara, El Guero Chihuahua, started stealing cars aged 14 in San Diego, which were later sold in Mexico. In Los Angeles, thanks to Don Balas, he got to know Benjamin Arellano Felix, later he said to authorities that Benjamin had given him his first opportunity.

Ramon Arellano, known as the most violent of the clan, if you laughed and he was in a bad mood, he would kill you, if you didn't say hello to him he would kill you, related El Guero Chihuahua to elements of the AIC, who finally achieved his capture.

At the side of Don Balas, Rodriguez Guevara formed part of a group of sicarios know as Los Omega, and who according to the authorities were in charge of executions for the cartel and extortion of rival organizations.

According to El Guero Chihuahua, the fall of the Arellano Felix brothers only led Tijuana in chaos. "It was chaos since the brothers disappeared", he said, " everyone did what ever they liked".

The Sinaloa Cartel intended to exploit the situation. The remnants of the CAF made an alliance with the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, this is the cause of the violence that still affects Tijuana today.

Before it was all about the drugs, now its not, confessed El Guero, Like other members of what he called " the old school", he opted for a change of direction. He dedicated himself to business, opening restaurants, currency exchanges, and party function houses.

But that was many years after. At the moment El Guero Chihuahua only exists in some witness testimony and corridos. The corridos put me in the shit, my name left the light he admitted.

The team from the AIC that were sent to capture him, described the old sicario as controlling all that occurred in Tijuana to do with the halcones. Their investigation detailed 28 safe houses. But there were all under false name and were for family members and straw men.

El Guero was never visited by anybody. Later he was known to be the Director of a private security firm, and that this firm was in charge or protecting people or making them invisible.

One of his sons published a family reunion picture on face book. El Guero was at the back and the restaurant was one of the most exclusive in Tijuana. After several visits to the restaurant, the agents were sure that the place formed part of the chain of businesses that laundered money for Rodriguez Guevara.

There they located a woman. They found that the woman had 16 registered addresses, all that all of them were false. They obtained the plate numbers for the Toyota Highlander that she used. The vehicle led the investigators to a fraccionamiento.

El Guero was not seen there, but the fraccionamiento had many strange occurrences. In the night various blacked out vehicles drove around slowly, very slowly so they wouldn't disturb any dogs. When the occupants of these vehicles saw something strange, a pair of lovers inside a car, they immediately called the Municipal Police.

The last day of August saw a motorcyclist with a black crash helmet arrive at a house. After a little while, the Toyota left the garage and went to the restaurant, two people left the vehicle and went into the restaurant.

The agents of the AIC reported this to City of Mexico, there was doubt as to whether El Guero Chihuahua was in the restaurant. They were given the green light, there were five people in the team of the AIC so they requested the support of State Police.

When Guevara Rodriguez left the restaurant, a pickup mounted the entrance, El Guero was calm, "I am Guero", he said. He was transferred to the Capital city by commercial airliner and left behind 25 years of bullets and death.
