Armando López Garcés aka El Pajaro, Escorpión 7, or Bravo 1

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat


Video translation is as follows:


A clear image of the successor to José Alberto García Vilano aka La Kena, who was the leader of the Scorpion Group until he was captured in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon while out shopping, has emerged on social media. 

Armando Lopez Garces aka El Pajaro was identified as one of La Kena's second-in-command and his likely successor. 

He is also accused of being one of the individuals responsible for the kidnapping of the American citizens in Matamoros a few months ago. 

The photo released shows a man armed with a rifle, wearing a plate carrier, with a San Judas chain hanging from his neck while smiling at the camera.



* The San Judas chain is a popular accessory among Catholics and other Christians who venerate Saint Jude as the patron saint of hopeless cases and desperate situations.

En Mexico nomas ahi de dos sopas o eres gente de bien y no andas en cosas chuecas o andas de corriente con los putos mañosos. Ahi mas buenos que malos todavia. Saludos

  2. 👍

    According to what I have read online some people claim Pajaro was a bodyguard for Contador. Some people even claim that he even goes back to the times of Tony Tormenta being part of TT personal guard.

    1. I’m guessing older Matamoros figures such as Meme Loco, Gaby Sierra, and Escorpion 2 are letting Pajaro step up into the faction leadership position to take all the law enforcement attention.

    2. 10:24 Escorpiones ain't going to seek a truce with ZVE or Metros any time soon . So they had to put someone violent who likes war . Pajaro has been a hitmen since the TT days

    3. @ 10:24 this is not 2005 lol
      Also Gaby sierra dead lol

      Only someone like OCG could manage his shit & even then after he made Zs he didnt last long

      But it was because times were much easier/different.
      Now everyone is part of the action & its not drugs they sell

      Kidnapping/extortion to pay for payroll/employees/expenses

      Theres not as much money as there use to
      Plus there all divided
      I guess its easier to manage/arrest/kill a dozen people over 1 supreme person

      Just a though

    2. 10:50 every cartel has some type of government backing . Either local state or federal. Seems like it's truth to Operativa MZ taking over plazas that used to be CDG and CJNG in Zacatecas

    4. I appreciate all the feedback. I won’t lie to you. I feel that my people lack “ a great deal “ of education. Most people don’t think im Dominican because I speak proper Spanish. They think I’m Colombian. Also because I’m light skin.
      At least I learned something new. I have no qualms with anyone ( or try not to. I’ve been pretty violent most of my life. Now I just want good karma. To make friends and acquaintances. And learn about people and their cultures ).

    9. Wow no shit about Colombians? Are they looked at bad because of the coke? Or just In general? It’s funny because I thought that the only people that seem to rub off other Hispanics the wrong way are Argentinians. To me they seem to carry themselves in sort of a pretentious way. And I’ve spoken to alot here in nyc. and Miami.
