The arrest was made after, “with the information gathered and evidence obtained, a control judge issued a search warrant to search a home located on Guadalajara Street in the Las Quintas neighborhood, where after corroborating his identity, an arrest warrant was served for organized crime with the purpose of committing crimes against health in the form of drug trafficking, firearms trafficking and human trafficking”.

Government information states that “between August 6 and September 19 he remained in Sonora until, after suffering a murder attempt in General Plutarco Elías Calles, he returned to Sinaloa, possibly due to the beginning of the conflict between Los Chapitos and Los Mayos”, due to the kidnapping and delivery to US authorities of Ismael el Mayo Zambada García.
