"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

A group of armed men "kidnapped" a woman living in the Mexicali Valley and sexually abused her repeatedly, over a period of two weeks while keeping her captive.

The subjects were arrested in different operations between September 6 and 10, by elements of the State Security and Investigation Guard (GESI), which concluded that the three perpetrators of the crime belong to the operational cell of Felipe Eduardo Barajas Lozano, known as "El Omega", which operates in the Mexicali valley and the eastern area of the city.

The investigation carried out by GESI elements originated after the victim's release, from which all information will be omitted so as not to violate his integrity.

According to the data collected, the young woman was "kidnapped" while cleaning a house located in the Tabasco community, by heavily armed subjects traveling aboard a black pick-up.

The woman was taken to a home located in the Tepic community, owned by a subject known as "El Chicken" Ortiz, where she remained imprisoned for two weeks, where the criminals took the opportunity to commit lewd acts against her.

In addition, she was interrogated regarding the location of René, from "Los Garibay", and although she never gave more details, the Attorney General's Office (FGE) suspects that it is René Ledesma Jáuregui, hitman of Luis Alfredo Garibay Félix, known as "El Wicho", who was recruited by "Los Chapitos" to fight the plaza with "El Ruso", leader of the criminal group that operates in Mexicali.

After being released, the woman was supported by the authorities and in a matter of hours an operation was implemented in the home where she remained captive, located on Salvador Elizarrarás Street, between Ramal and José Mendoza, in the Tepic community.

The following individuals were detained there, Víctor Frausto Murillo, Newton Benjamín Elizarrarás and José Ricardo Guillén Escárcega, they were guarding four packages wrapped with tan-colored adhesive tape weighing 15 kilograms of methamphetamine; in addition to 13 packages wrapped in transparent paper, three ziploc bags and five clear bags, which contained 7.8 kilograms of methamphetamine.

It was established that the subjects respond directly to the criminal orders of two men, known as Rodrigo Martínez Serrano, alias "El Rigo", and Maximiliano Aispuro Álvarez, alias "El Max" from Culiacán, Sinaloa, one of the main operators in Mexicali of Jesús Alexander Sánchez Félix "El Ruso" and Felipe Eduardo Barajas Lozano, alias "El Omega".

The three detainees were presented for the crime of sexual abuse and kidnapping. However, following this capture, the investigators obtained data that culminated in the capture of three other alleged criminals identified as: 

Ángel Guadalupe Martínez Camacho, alias "El Tatú"; Omar Abelino Angulo Montoya, alias "El Pariente; and Rodrigo Martínez Serrano, alias "El Rigo", when they were traveling through a Sánchez Taboada alley near the intersection of Ignacio Zaragoza Street, in the Ciudad Morelos community, in possession of small arms.

The six detainees are part of the criminal cell of "El Max", in charge of the distribution of drug dealing and hitmen in the East and Mexicali Valley area, under the orders of "El Omega", according to intelligence information available in the "Peace-Building Security Tables".
