The mysterious end of El Gross

Original article available at ZETA
Translated by El Wachito


Arturo Gomez Herrera was murdered at a barbershop in the capital of Jalisco. The drug trafficker linked to CJNG was unarmed and alone. His body was immediately returned to his wife one day after his assassination. According to intelligence reports, his replacements will be his second in command known by the alias of "El Charmin" and "El 50". Authorities expect that his assassination will decrease to murder rate in Baja California.

Arturo Giovanni Gomez Herrera "El Gross" was murdered in Guadalajara, a city where he moved for three reasons:


1.- From the beginning of 2016, cells of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion operating in Tijuana, had already put a price on his head.

"In reality there is a fracture between the Arellano Felix Organization and the Cartel de Jalisco and associates, it was provoked by Arturo Gomez Herrera, it is not a deep fracture, however they will solve it by eliminating the lieutenant responsible for it. They will kill 'El Gross' anytime soon", said a government investigator to ZETA last February of this year, after a period of assassinations and narcomantas.

2.- The Sinaloa cartel was also trying to kill him. Messages left in narcomantas over tortured and mutilated bodies were left, and they were located in La Sanchez Taboada of Tijuana and in Tecate and Rosarito, were the rivalry between Gomez representing the traffickers in Jalisco and Victor Hugo Meza Lopez "El Griego", of the Sinaloan Cartel was exposed.

3.- Gomez also left Tijuana because he was trying to avoid persecution from law enforcement. Because of his violent activities, local law enforcement insisted in his arrest, even during this year, the Procuraduria General de Justicia del Estado (PGJE) tried to obtain two orders of apprehension against him, one for murder and another one for small scale drug dealing, in the murder case, a judge denied the orders more than two times because he considered that the witnesses were not able to fully identify the hit man, due to them not knowing his full name and all his nicknames.

His successors

Intelligence areas of the State of Baja California, consider that the restructure of the criminal cell will not have any problems, because since he left the state, two man stayed in Tijuana in order to execute his orders, and this will be the man that will command the organization. They are identified by the authorities, however, we will only mention their nicknames:

*"El Charmin", a direct family member of Gomez Herrera, who is the boss of "El Caiman", "El Kika", "El Pichon" and "El Dany".

*"El 50" or "El Goofy", who's cell consists of "El Snok", Castillo "El Rifat", Gomez "El Panchito" and Ramirez "El Burguer".

      It's mysterious cause why would you go to the enemies house to hide?

      It's mysterious cause why wouldn't the Federation leave a manta and have 5 corridos about this?

      Either way the cops said he was causing problems and would be popped off by his own people...

      Rather believe a corrupt official regarding the issue vs believe some shit comment by a ass hat calling himself The Commander "Dog"

    3. 7:19 lol I was thinking the same thing, where are the corridos if it was CDSnitches. The only thing CDS has the most of is fame, not good in the dope game. I know the cheerleaders will say, money, and I say cuinis. Cuinis have that Euro market, that's a lot of money with, due to a variety of factors comes in largely unmolested and with little interruption and interdiction. For every #701 there are men you haven't heard of. I will site an example: There was a book written in the 90s by two reporters, Jeff Leen and Guy Guggliota, it is called Kings of Cocaine, written about the Carrel of Medellin. In it they were talking about who in the group exported the most, I wish I still had it to quote the exact figures which I believe the authors got from ledgers at Tranquilandia lab but I think it was ochoas 1000-1500 (keys a week) Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha 1000-1500 Escobar 1500-2000 and the whole point of this rambling Juan Meijia 2000-2500.

  9. So who killed him CJNG or CDS?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. CJNG...Gross was attracting too much heat and was central to the divide between CAF and CTNG. With him out of the way Mencho can link up with the remnants of CAF and the new Sinaloan chapulines who left Aquiles for CJNG.

      Delete
    2. I'm assuming it was CJNG since he was hit in Jslisco. If El Gross was speaking freely with the informant then chances are it was members of his own crew who set him up. The actual hitmen didn't know him per se. The bloodshed will decrease because the instigator of the fracture was elimated. CAF and CJNG working together with no issues won't be good for CDS in BC and BCS.

      Delete
    3. Does it matter now that he is dead?

      It's a mystery who ever did it, maybe we metieron a la Cocina de mencho or maybe mencho invited him to the kitchen ...

      No mantas left so I doubt it was Federation, we all know how they are ...

    5. It does matter 7:24 but you are right when you say it wasn't the federation. Score this one for El Mencho and the CAF connect. I think El Mayo is slapping himself on the nalgas for not backing El Lic right about now.

    2. Well said my friend the cuinis and cjng have been moving alot of weight for a long time they were under the radar and barely people knew about them until a couple years back, for people that don't know they have used the tijuana border for a really long time always paying to the plaza but a while back they know they have really strong in money and power and saw a really big oportunity as soon as alot of independent drug dealers and and some ex caf and cds people went to them for backup and help to help to take over tijuana and alrededores they reviewed the idea and went in on it they are really smart they will not fight a plaza if they were not sure they could take over it they knew they would

    3. Jalisco is getting credit for what the cuinis did prior to 2010. I don't care what bs articles on here say you don't become as wealthy as they claim cjng is in 5-6 years.

    4. It's called consolidation 12:45. Homeboy from clan A marries into clan B. Homegirl from clan B marries into clan C. All three clans come together and consolidate their money. Each uses each other's connections, move weight and protect each other with no jealous from within. CDS could have completely taken over Mexico if they had that kind of loyalty to each other from within. But they had backstabbers marrying into backstabbing bloodlines and befriending other backstabbers. Then they start producing backing stabbing kids. So guess what happens they snitch each other out and destroy what they have built. That's why CDS is on life support as a cartel as we speak.

The problem is I do know what I am talking about and a lot of you Pom Pom cheer squads don't like to hear the truth. Mark my words when I say 2017 will be a tough year for the All Mighty CDS.

    3. Thank you...not much of a story. It looks like him, but question...how long was he in prison? I think he was arrested in 2011.

      His fathers final shootout was the most massive, violent, long conflict I have ever heard about in Mexico. It went on for 4 days and the violence continued all over the Tamps region. No news in the blackout state and the gob lied about casualties, narcos went nuts with kidnappings and killings. It was a horrific time that ended CDG as it was known, and strengthen Z's who has just split with golfo....... thanks again

    Replies
    1. 1:31 there isn't a split just a small fracture between CAF/CJNG that was caused by El Gross. It's important to mention because it gives the CAF/CJNG a motive to get rid of El Gross. It was just a matter of time before CDS or CAF/CJNG killed him.

  21. Gross was causing a lot of heat to the new leadership of CAF, he even called them out in a manta a few months ago, he was killed by CJNG, why they did it this way and not in private? simple, so they can blame CDS and keep the "loyalty" of gross´s people.

    Gross was a tweaker who brought too much heat into CAF/CJNG operations in TJ, his life as a usable puppet ran out.

    Don´t believe the crap Gente de la Tia post on their website, they even claimed they killed "El Boyz" from Zona Norte when he was killed by CAF for bringing heat to la zonaja.

    Gente de la Tia is an Akiles cheerleader website.

  23. El Wachito what have you heard about El Lic and Mini Lic? It appears like their roll within the CDS has been minimized since Chapo's arrests. From what I remember reading on BB in 2014 was the Chapitos stepped over El Lic after Chapo's 2nd capture. And Mayo backed the Chapitos on the move. Can you do a story? A lot of the BB newbies aren't aware of the rift within the CDS that was suggested in these reports.

Same for all the other reporters except those that are also administrators; DD, Chivis, and Buggs. Buggs is the founder and owner of BB but he does not usually get involved in day to day administering the site. That leave Chivis and myself for you to attack. Due to Chivis's ill health she does not do as much moderating as she used to - that leaves me for you to blame. The only thing I can add in response to your comment is Bye Bye and good luck.
