"MX" and "HEARST" for Borderland Beat
Authorities in Baja California announced that Jesús Manuel Aragón Estrada, a Tecate Municipal Police officer, was murdered on Sunday. He was believed to have been part of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). Aragón Estrada was under investigation for his suspected cartel ties. He joined the police force in 2012 and was still under suspension on the day he was killed.
At approximately 6:00am on the morning of Sunday, June 28, 2021, Aragón Estrada was driving on Gutiérrez Durán Street in the Downey neighborhood of Tecate. When he reached a part of Gutiérrez street that was close to a Francisco I High School and an Autozone store, multiple unknown armed men riding aboard vehicles shot towards Aragón Estrada in his gray Honda CRV, hitting him multiple times.

Two white pick-up trucks with California license plates, one a Ford Lobo and another a Ford F-150, were abandoned at the scene. Witnesses said that the gunmen fled towards the highway leading to Tijuana. Multiple high-powered bullet shell casings were found near the scene. Surveillance cameras were present near the scene of the shooting and the footage will be reviewed by law enforcement as part of the investigation into Aragón Estrada’s death.

The agent was identified as one of the key figures in the rise of homicidal violence in Tecate, the Prosecutor's Office said. It is presumed that Aragon Estrada was the CJNG's liaison in the police force and prosecutor departments, which received weekly payments for providing information and security to the CJNG.
State authorities added that the police officer provided protection to El Moreno. The officer’s brother Juan Carlos Aragón Estrada is believed to be alias "El Guacho", the head of sicarios and suspected right-hand man of El Moreno.
In addition, a source said that Officer Aragón Estrada was involved in drug sales and distribution in Tecate along with his mother, nicknamed “La Doña”, who reportedly has drug dealers in Infonavit Colosio and Paraiso neighborhoods.
According to several investigators who have interviewed multiple CJNG members, the police officer was a trusted member of the cartel under local kingpin Dany Isaac Ortíz Covarrubias alias "El Moreno". El Moreno used to belong to the CJNG however it is believed that around August 2020, El Moreno left the organization.
ZETA Tijuana weekly reports the Tecate rumors were “they took him [El Moreno] out of the cartel, for being violent and por jalar la marca,” or “for hurting the brand”. Moreno has since been threatened multiple times in CJNG narcomantas that label him a traitor, such as one placed on December 23, 2020.
Of note, El Moreno’s alleged second-in-command Jorge Andrés Quiñonez Ramírez alias “El Buches” was arrested alongside other El Moreno group members on April 26 2021, in the vicinity of the Loma Tova, Tecate. The men were found to be in possession of 3 short barrel firearms, 1 long barrel firearm, and 21 grams of meth. According to El Mexicano newspaper, useful data from their cell phones was able to be extracted by authorities.

Dirty cop working in collusion with baby Killer Cartel aka cjng.Now I have no sympathy for this curupt cop. Getting bribe money for Intel and killing Innocents.
ReplyDeleteAll cartels r same bro they all kill what ever they need to kill u dm as.
DeleteAll cartels are baby killers bro
DeleteHe knows this @Billy Jean. stupid f*ck is trolling with that comment. these idiots come on here hoping to instigate a keyboard battle between fanboys. Exactly the type of people who deserve to get banned off this website.
DeleteEL Moreno got disowned by CJNG for being too violent, second hand jorge Andres quiñones "el Buches" and his followers got arrested, with weapons, and a miserly "21 grams of meth".
DeleteThose are facts meaning CJNG rogue members doing what they want vs more peaceful CJNG members like this cop who had got suspended from the corporation.
Do not rebel against rebels.
So CJNG took this guy out for continuing to work with El Moreno is what I’m getting from all this.
ReplyDeleteOMG people are not reading the whole article, reading is good for the brain. The answer is in the article.
DeleteSounds like it since Moreno left probably cop still working under him and cjng took the easy target out first
Delete1:33 YOUR right. Good observation
Delete1:18 My guy it says in the article that The cops brother worked under El Moreno and right after he left CJNG his cell became a target so putting two and two together it would make more sense that this cop most likely kept working with Moreno which CJNG didn’t like so he’s gets taken out.
Delete11:45 this cop lost his job after being outed as a CJNG collaborator,
DeleteEl Moreno lost his CJNG job for being too violent and hurting the brand.
Guess who got violent and did what he does best by killing this "cop"?
Suspended does not mean fired,
Murdered means he can't get his job back, eso se saca por andar ahi de caliente.
An a up side but off topic, Mexico ranks #1 as the country where employees work the most hours.
ReplyDeleteAnd get paid peanuts, ain't that some shit
DeleteHardest working people in the world. Even Jamaicans and Chinitos say relax, stop working.
Delete11:30, not sure if #1 but they are up there. I interned in Mexico a few years ago. The hours were crazy. People were in the office before 8am and left way after 7pm. with traffic, they reached home shortly before 9pm. one thing is that it is pretty common to take a 2 hour lunch break, but if you don't take that 2 hours its not like you can leave early. people are stuck in the office. leaving early means you'll likely get reprimanded for it. employers also don't trust their employees with this work from home structure. there's a lot of micromanagement in Mexico. I hated working there, but it opened my eyes to how flexible things are back in the US.
Delete1:05 working "in the office"?
DeleteMèxico is becoming too much like BS "Office Jobs US".
I am sure you and your kind have never dirtied up your hands doing menial jobs manufacturing, process, cleaning, cooking, farming, nursjng...
--try, at least
So el Moreno was too violent for cjng? Bull Shit he jumped ship and now mensos have to say They kicked him out.
ReplyDeleteThese are killers, they aren't fighting with words. They will kill his support structure and him and you'll still be all emotional
DeleteExactly they are killers. Then why complain about him being too violent? They didn't kick him out.
Delete7:36 why complain?
DeleteThis cop lost his job,
CJNG lost the connection to city hall, moreno is full of shit and will now get hunted like a yellow dog.
Comments above don't make sense to me . . . Mexicans will work hard as anyone when they have a job to do. Many people have showed up late to work in Mexico under law. When given a job in USA, money can be made and they do it, mainly to support family
ReplyDeleteback home and to give them some relief. But there is another side of the story, workers become tweakers to have a couple of jobs (the demand) , and then abuse of the social system, whether emergency rooms, not paying taxes, etc. Look at Albuquerque, Santa Fe . etc. Becomes as bad as the locals in their work ethic. Still, I have to praise any immigrant from anywhere that comes to USA to better their lives and support their families. Thank God that Trump built more border wall, not to keep them out, but to keep them in USA. Think about it
Not all Mexican workers are like you and use drugs and become meth addict (tweakers) why would you say that as if the only people using drugs are immigrants.
Delete7:50 There are many white and black tweakers, forget about abusing the system.
DeleteTrump built no wall, at 72 billion dollars for a couple of miles worth of wall, it was a no go stop light, but he got plenty kickback from his contractors re building parts of ot.
That was his only WALL INTEREST, political cuntributions from cuntractors.
The Unpresidented Disgrace also hired many bunches of hard working illegal aliens for his businesses and he fired them when it was exposed by the press, also used illegal aliens from Poland and stiffed the US at paying time.
Fat Tony Salerno built Trump Tower and got imprisoned instead of paid, because even then Rudi Giuliani was a member of his own unindicted RICO, "trump.org"
Arizona had for about 30 years former DEA AGENT sheriff joe "el Apache" Arpaio, sworn member of the trump cofrady, they gave Sammy the Bull gravano safe heaven in drug dealing Arizona for delivering Gotti...
Arizona, just north of Sinaloa and Sonora drug traffickers.
I mean, your mud gods are full of stinking shit.
Jaliscos have turned Tecate into a warzone everyday there is a shooting. This used to be one the safest places in Baja California now it's ranked 4th on murders in Mexico. It's been getting worse these past 3-4 years.
ReplyDeleteThats there m.o and their cheerleaders support all the senseless killings. Talk about a braindead group of morons these cheerleaders. Lowlife scum they are.
Delete11:19 looks like you are no better, why don't you go in and do some killing yourself?
DeletePromise you the low life scum will be unarmed.
Ah Family Affair Mexican style. If his mom was slinging, his brother was a known cartel higher up why the hell would they higher this guy??
