Below is a historical overview from El Diario

He used the nickname of Doroteo Arango on a Facebook, account to which he “uploaded” photos of members of a criminal group.

He already had received several threats to stop displaying photographs of suspected criminals, but he continued  until October 22, when he posted his last publication.

Although he was “undercover”  with the official name of the “Centauro del Norte”, Francisco Villa, it was not difficult for his murderers to find him, because according to internal reports of the State Attorney General's office, he barely lasted publishing a few days before receiving the first threat to do it.

He created the fake account on March 25 this year with a profile picture of General Pancho Villa aboard a black horse. He added a cover with another photo of the Duranguense adopted by Parral and put as a date of birth on January 1, 1911.

Occupation said he worked in the Ministry of National Defense and the Navy of Mexico, but there is no confirmation that he was part of any security force.

His activity on that account was limited to occasional private messages, in response mainly to people who asked him questions about any relationship he had with Villa, because in brackets on the same account he put "Centauro del Norte".  Generally he  did not interact, beyond sending and receiving lots of friend requests on the social network.

In September he began publishing compromising information.

"Here I will publish some of the photos of the hitmen and people who support them from here in Parral, so that they know who they are and denounce them," he wrote in the account on September 6, with  a  a package of 26 images with alleged members of a criminal group with wide presence and dominance in the Parral region.

The next day he launched another package. Seven photos with the following message: “These are the people who are stealing cars  in Satevó and Zargoza, and who also steal the cars in the city of Chihuahua. And right there is a photo of the Nissan Tsuru that was seized in the shooting. ” He was referring to car theft by a command in the capital, at the end of August.

He began to get attention by those dates. With that,he declared his rivalry with Antonio Leonel Camacho Mendoza, alias “El 300”, leader  of a “Gente Nueva” cell that operates in the southern part of the state for the Sinaloa Cartel.

By September 8 he was already identified as the enemy of "el 300". His two posts attacked only this group and according to research around the criminal leader of "Gente Nueve".

He shrugged off the threats saying he was not in fear, but did stop blogging for a month.

He reappeared two weeks before he was killed

He returned to his account last October 10 with a publication in which he exhibited seven photographs of the same criminal group.

"Here are this gang of rats, some are from Zaragoza and others support from Chihuahua," he wrote in his post. On each photo put the name, nickname and origin of each. All were images like the previous ones, armed men, with caps, hats, suit, taken from the same Facebook network where they register with the most varied names.

On October 12, Doroteo Arango changed his profile picture at 9 p.m. He uploaded the classic photo of Francisco Villa sitting in the presidential chair, with Emiliano Zapata, “El Caudillo del Sur”, on his left side.

That famous cropped photo - of December 6, 1914, when the revolutionaries "took" the National Palace of Mexico City and gathered in the main hall, a symbol of the power of the overthrown Porfirio Díaz - established as his last profile. On the cover used another Villa on board a horse, in front of the Northern Division.

On October 14, he insisted: “(sic) Here are photos and names of those responsible for car thefts on the short road, gas theft, kidnapping, extortion, disappearances, and theft of all those farmers who with all the effort they use to produce their product and these rats steal them and the authorities do not arrest them,  citizens help us to share so that we can get rid of these people who are only damaging our Parral”. He recycled previous photos and uploaded some new ones.

On the 15th, he uploaded more photos with names of alleged hitmen. And it was when he messed directly with "El 300", "also known as Bin Laden," he wrote about his image with colored letters. On the same day he exhibited one of the alleged closest gunmen of the criminal leader, nicknamed "La Mosca".

The following days he uploaded diverse images and a message in which he said he accepted complaints of all kinds, not just against the New People. He also repeated publications and images that he said he would continue to upload even if they reported it on Facebook, a mechanism that some had to use to try to prevent him from publishing images.

On October 22, he published an alleged warning to the people of Parral, Coronado and El Valle that the New People would steal the nut crops they wanted. He pointed out specific nogaleros and the supposed strategy to steal production in complicity with police.

It was his last publication.
