Tijuana: 4 sicarios of 'Aquiles' captured

4 Assassins of 'Aquiles' detained

Authorities with a strategic safety task force in Tijuana, were conducting patrols and survelliance of side streets in colonias, and arrested four men, belonging to a cell under the command of Aquiles, Alfredo Azarte Arteaga.  Aquiles is considered the most prominent trafficker in Tijuana, under Ismael Zamabda.

 Rumors abound, as always, that he and his brother Rene Azarte Garcia, 'La Rana', have 'switched' from Zambada, and are currently operating independently.  La Rana and Aquiles are said to be fighting for control of Zona Norte, allegedly responsible for the murder of Luis Manuel Toscano, 'El Mono', gunned down at a taco stand in La Mesa, earlier this month. 

The task force observed four men fighting in the street, amongst each other.  After their arrest they explained they were fighting over drug sales and their drug operation, and also admitted to several murders, recently.  They were arrested in possession of weapons in various calibers, and drugs, in quantities and packaging that indicated they were being sold at a retail level. 

Arrested were, Gilberto Garcia Hernandez, 42, 'El Clown', Carlos Alberto Espino Servin, 33 'El Chiuqlin', Duarte Juan Carlos Verdugo, 20 'The Assassain', Jose Luis Castillo, 'El Pepe' age 23.  These men will be detained for awhile, or maybe post bail immediately, and be back on the street.  What I find more interesting, is the backgrounds on each of these men.  Like a 20 year old, nicknamed 'The Assassin'. Do they have families? Many do.  How do they spend their time?  These are the faces of the violence and crime at a street level.

As you move up the ladder, the clothes are designer, the shoes expensive, the local more exotic.  That will never happen for most of these faces, that cycle in and out of the news stories.  These are the fourth tier positions, the bottom/entry level.  You want in?  Move some crystal.  Settle some scores.  Control some tientidas.  You get paid in product, you probably use the product.  Spend most days and night involved in the politics of the retail drug trade, which fuels the violence in the city.  Life is as cheap as the crystal you smoke.

  1. Why would those men immediately tell the cops that they were fighting over drug sales and murders?

    4. I remember my uncle was a judicial in the 80s 90s in TJ and remember him telling stories at get togethers about them torturing innocent people into confessions electrocuting them. No one confesses to murders with out this practice in Mexico.

    7. La gente del cafe tiene disciplina y mucho estilo para hacer y deshacer. Te puedo asegurar ke los jrs ke andan orita en el ruedo se la llevan con un porte muy diferente a los demas. Tranquilo y sencillos fue la orden. Por eso les da trabajo ubicarlos por la ciudad. Ablo de la mayoria de la clika. Menos ruido mas accion.

    1. To be a boss you have to kill or snitch on all the top bosses so you can be aboss. Basically, back stab your friends like chapo , 40, and all those mensos

    2. Excellent analysis in the article. For sure, sweat equity brings respect, connections and power. But the jefe maximos of yesteryear kept their nose out of the bag much more than we see today. Couple that with the gratuitous and shameful violence, the shot callers tomorrow will be the money folks. Drugs will become more of a commodity with the little people at the retail level being so disposable. It is true, that they allow their lives to be defined by the drugs they abuse. K. O.

    3. Nah, some were the children of bosses, they didn't work their way anywhere. It was inherited. El Ingeniero stood on some corner yelling "red tops" ? Original Zetas left their military posts to be look outs? Get real.

    5. Arturo beltran was chapos right hand man he was running the operations for cds while chapo was in prison until he escaped thats when barbas decided to part ways. With cds and so started the cds vs blo because you know how it is one minute friends the next minute we are enemies

    6. @4:13AM
      Chapo has always been a backs staber and just because you're unaware of it doesn't mean it ain't so. One, out of the many, of his machinations was to have the brother of the Juarez boss killed and start a war all because he felt he didn't need to continue following agreements. Criminals at that level will slit your throat and stab you in the back at the drop of a hat if they feel they could get away with it.

    8. Why not just "earn your position the hard way" by going to school, networking and becoming CEO of whatever corp.? I am not impressed

    9. How do you go to school if the teacher's union bosses steal the education budget?
      La chuky, bertie boy moreira, Carlos jonguitud barrios and all the others, just robbing the secretaria de educacion...
      --La chuky is not getting back the money she put in US banks, or her million dollar houses...
      --the children that lost their chance at education will not get it back, but those that want to privatize the mexican education budget, in their immense greed, forget it is in the billions, of PESOS...

    1. Retail drug sales in mexico...
      --Is the result of paying in "species", no money is paid out to sicarios, they have to work for their pay, and then retail for their money, grameros de a peso.
      -- from the money they make they have to pay very high prices for their weapons, pay the police, the military, the politicians, for their plazas...and fight to the death against other narcos, and armchair warriors who make me puke, frankly...

  25. I truly feel empathy for all the innocent people that live in these areas. They are forced to endure the atrocious violence perpetrated by demonic people with absolutely no morality. "Blanco" Living on the east coast & having people that work for me that once lived in some of those areas. The stories they have told me about not only the financial hardships. Also, having to live in essentially a war zone. rved a TOD in IRAQ doing DA missions. Yet, I still do not understand how someone can be that violent & heartless to other humans. I suppose most are narcissistic sociopaths'.
