SAA event in Mexico on Sun 19th April 2026

Six hitmen from La Familia Michoacana were arrested while attempting to mark their territory in Tlaltizapán. Elements of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, along with military personnel and the National Guard, surprised them in the early morning hours as they hung a banner with direct threats and the logos of "El Pez" and "El Fresa" on the tourist sign for Huatecalco. Among those arrested are Héctor N., alias "Botas," and five other accomplices, identified as Trigo, Dilan, Rubén, Jerson Esau, and María Nazaret. The individuals were traveling in a white Dodge pickup truck, allegedly rented for the display of terror. This banner matches the design of seven others that appeared days earlier in Cuernavaca and Xochitepec, confirming an offensive by the criminal group in the area. - 1 banner with the logos of "El Pez" and "El Fresa." - 1 loaded 9mm pistol. - 12 rounds of ammunition. - One Dodge Journey SUV with fake license plates. The criminals were apprehended and immediately taken to the Morelos State Attorney General's Office. The ride is over for these individuals who intended to stir things up in the area under the orders of Michoacán leaders; they will now face charges of threats, possession of a weapon restricted to the military, and criminal association.
