"Jefe de plaza" killed in Nuevo Laredo







Unconfirmed reports from Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas state that the Los Zetas plaza chief in Nuevo Laredo, Jorge de la Peña alias "El Pompín", was killed in a shootout yesterday with Mexican Army soldiers.

The shootout, in which another gunman and one soldier also died, occurred at the intersection of Maclovio Herrera and Alvaro Obregon in downtown Nuevo Laredo, approximately one mile south from the International Bridge #1 that links the city with Laredo, Texas.

Two gunmen survived the shootout and were taken into custody. All four men were travelling in a white late model pickup when they were intercepted by an Army unit at around 12 noon.

Minutes after the late morning shootout, "narco" blockades were reported throughout the city.

The local newspaper in Laredo, the Laredo Morning Times, reported clashes in different areas of the city. The Morning Times quoted a Mexican federal source saying that some "halcones", or lookouts that provide early warning and intelligence functions for criminal gangs, were also killed by Army troops.

The name of Jorge de la Peña,"El Pompín", appeared in the Mexican press in May of this year after parts of the Marine interrogation of Sergio Mora "el Toto" were made public.

El Toto was the Los Zetas head of operations in the state of San Luis Potosi when the attack on ICE agents, in which agent Jaime Zapata was killed, occurred in that state in February of this year.

El Toto was swept up in the dragnet of Zetas from San Luis Potosi after the attack and was arrested in Saltillo, Coahuila.

During the interrogation El Toto identified "El Comandante Pompin" as the local head of the plaza for Los Zetas in Nuevo Laredo. El Toto also identified El Pompin's second in command as Ramiro Rojas "El Comandante Rama Rojas" and Juan José González "El José" as the principal in charge of drug distribution in the city.

El Toto confirmed that Heriberto Lazcano is the leader of the Los Zetas organization and that Miguel Angel Trevino is the head of operations and second in the chain of command.

The third position in the Los Zetas hierarchy was identified as a person with the last name of Zamudio and known as "El Samurai" or "El Samy" who serves as the chief financial officer for the organization and supervises all Zeta "accountants" and "supervisors" from his base of operations in Nuevo Laredo.

El Toto recanted his statements made to the Marines after he was transferred to the custody of the PGR, Mexico's Attorney General's office, saying that the confession was forced under torture.

    The blockades are actually burned cars, trailers, and buses and are not manned by sicarios (only used to block off law enforcement) thus there being no point in the army shooting at them. Trust me the army hates the Z as much as everyone else and takes prisioners only as a last resort.

    Viva el ejercito y marina

  15. It's too bad Nuevo Laredo has gotten so F--ked
    up; gone are the days when all the Gringo's went
    there for Good Cheap Food and Entertainment.With
    out the Gringos spending their greenbacks the
    legitimate Mexican buisinessman starves because
    they could charge the Gringos enough that they could Discount the same products to the Locals
    and still make a decent profit. Not Now, no one in their right mind will go back to Nuevo Laredo
    until all these mini wars Stop! As far as I can see that will not be anytime soon. Ahh; For the Good Old Days huh? What a Beautiful Place gone to s--t! and all because of some punks who think thier Bad Asses; take away the weapons
    and let's see how Bad they Are!

  16. From the halcones to the mas chingones. They are all a part of the same network. I say, cut of the head and the body dies but it's okay to cut off the hands and feet too.

    El pompin, say "hi" to Lucifer for me. Ya no eres el jefe de la plaza.

    KILL ZETAS FOREVER!
