The Department of State is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information that leads to the arrest and/or conviction of Jesus Gonzalez Penuelas (AKA "Chuy Gonzalez"), an independent drug kingpin based in Sinaloa and Sonora that has strategic alliances other drug cartels.
Chuy Gonzalez heads an independent organization involved in the distribution and production of methamphetamine, marijuana, heroin, and cocaine. The group is also suspected of trafficking and selling cocaine and M-30s, which are fentanyl pills disguised as oxycodone. International narcotics charges have been filed against Chuy Gonzalez in the District of Colorado and the Southern District of California.
Since 2007, Chuy Gonzalez operates primarily in the Mexican states of Sinaloa and Sonora, in various ports of entry along the US-Mexico border, and with distribution cells in California, Texas, Colorado, Washington, Utah, and Nevada. He also oversees several Sinaloa heroin processing laboratories and is responsible for transporting and selling cocaine and M-30s fentanyl pills.
Chuy Gonzalez reportedly cooperates with various criminal groups in Mexico, acting as an "enforcement arm" for various of these cartels' in their drug trafficking routes. Authorities say he is linked to Fausto Isidro Meza Flores (alias "Chapo Isidro") and Rafael Caro Quintero. According to the DEA, Chuy Gonzalez was born in 1969 and is last known address was in Gabriel Leyva Solano, Sinaloa.
In September 2014, Chuy Gonzalez was rumored dead after five people were killed in a plane crash in Sinaloa, as reported by Borderland Beat. This information was later proven false.
On May 2021, federal authorities in San Diego accused Chuy Gonzalez of international drug trafficking as an independent or freelance drug leader. US authorities said his criminal group was one of the largest raw opium gum and heroin sources of supply in northern Mexico. They also claim he is a major distributor of fentanyl.

ReplyDeleteThere was a commenter (wrote like a Mexican - Spanglish) on here for years from somewhere in the mountains of Sinaloa that always wrote about independent operators all over Sinaloa and Durango. Their BB handle was like careta Mazatlan Durango. No telling how many independents fly under the radar like this outlaw!
ReplyDeletedeelucky1?
DeleteHe was very active in the forum. I also remember him taking pictures of Sinaloa with his user tag on a piece of paper to prove he was there.
Carretera Mazatlan Durango was a trucker genius lol
DeleteOf course there are independent traffickers but in the end, their sources are still quite limited..
DeleteCarrera was legit for real. He posted about a night time gunfight and bodies (think it was in La Noria) and I asked my uncle in Mazatlan that morning about it and he hadn’t heard about it but the next day my uncle texted pic of article from La Nota Roja with bodies right where Carretera said he drove by them that morning. Where u at CDM?
DeleteI remember Dee
ReplyDeletealways so irritated and frustrated
checked his posts every time though
“Chuy” el chuy” es mi carnal. Ora le vato.
ReplyDeleteisidro is pretty much his own flag now.
ReplyDeleteEl Chuy González is head of the batomote plaza and the long time right hand man of Chapito Isidro
ReplyDeleteI agree with one of the comments made. First the other 2 eslabones, now Chuy González. They all flew under the radar for so long. What changed? Now they’re being targeted by OFAC & info made public. Interesting for sure.
ReplyDeleteIs this the same Chuy Gonzalez that is known to move product from Sinaloa into Juarez with permission from La Linea ??? It’s rumored amongst the heavies in El Paso that massive weight is pushed by him through Juaritoz .
