This afternoon, a member of the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) was shot at inside his truck at the intersection of Búho and Quetzal streets, in the Parques de las Aves neighborhood in Zapopan. According to unofficial information, the victim is a lieutenant of the Mexican Army.

The military officer was driving his truck when he was attacked by gunshot wounds by a person on a motorcycle. The military officer was shot in the head and was taken in serious condition to the Cruz Verde Niña Eva, located in Carretera a Colotlán, in Zapopan, to be later admitted to a SEDENA hospital.

The victim was on his day off when he was attacked. The causes of the attack and the whereabouts of the alleged perpetrator are unknown at this time. After being shot in the head, the soldier lost control of his truck and crashed into a retaining wall. Zapopan police officers arrived at the scene and cordoned off the area while awaiting the arrival of the Public Prosecutor's Office agents, who are already conducting the corresponding investigations to clarify the facts.

On October 31, members of the Mexican Army and the National Guard arrested Armando 'N', known as 'Delta 1' or 'Maximo', who is said to be the third in command of the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation (CJNG) in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, as well as the person responsible for the expansion of the criminal group in Michoacan.

Delta 1' was arrested in a non-violent operation in the Lagos del Country neighborhood in Zapopan. He controlled criminal operations in the federal prison of Puente Grande, where he coordinated a group of hitmen known as 'Los Deltas', a violent group involved in murders, kidnappings and extortion in Jalisco and other states in the country, reported SEDENA.

Armando 'N' was arrested in 2020, but was released without any explanation from the authorities. In addition to allegedly leading the group of hitmen, this time he is accused of being responsible for the operation of some money laundering businesses for the CJNG.
