Zetas Ring Leader 'Gordo May' Dies of COVID-19 in Jalisco Prison; 74 More Inmates Are Infected

"MX" for Borderland Beat; BBC News

Moises Escamilla May ("Gordo May")
Moisés Escamilla May ("Gordo May"), a notorious Mexican gang leader, has died in prison after contracting COVID-19. Gordo May, 45, was the leader of a group within the feared criminal cartel Los Zetas. He was serving a 37-year sentence for organized crime, including his role in the decapitation of 12 people in Yucatán.

He led a group calling itself "Old School Zetas", which formed part of the Los Zetas criminal cartel. He was the main supplier of cocaine in Cancún, smuggling it via maritime routes from Central America into the popular beach resort. He also ran a network of informants which included members of the local police force.

When he was arrested in 2008 along with eight of his men, his group was considered the strongest criminal organization in the Cancún area. He developed respiratory problems on 6 May and died two days later, but authorities only made his death public on Sunday. He was viewed as a highly dangerous inmate and when he died was being held at the Puente Grande maximum security prison in Jalisco state.

How badly hit is Mexico by coronavirus?
According to the tally kept by Johns Hopkins University, Mexico has more than 35,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 3,465 deaths.

That figure is much lower than that of its northern neighbor, the US, which has the highest number of confirmed infections anywhere in the world at more than 1.3 million. However, many in Mexico fear that a low level of testing means the true number of cases could be much higher.

What's the situation in prisons?
The United Nations has warned that prisons in Latin America, which are often overcrowded, could become hotbeds of coronavirus as it is impossible for inmates to socially distance. There have been deadly prison riots in Venezuela, Peru and Colombia - with inmates demanding more be done to shield them from the virus.

An amnesty law passed in Mexico to allow some inmates to go free and ease overcrowding in prisons during the pandemic has been criticized by activists as not being far reaching enough to make a difference. At Puente Grande prison alone, there have been 74 reported coronavirus cases, local media say.

  1. This is BS. I had 3 family members passaway in Mexico in the last 2 weeks. The MEX Govt sent some reps and offered 30,000 pesos so we could say the death was COVID 19 related.... They are inflating the numbers and all deaths are being blamed on COVID 19. Their is something deep happening all around the world people.

      It doesn't follow from your singular account that was the case for the prison and, then, conclude from that some worldwide "something deep" is happening.

    7. Were any autopsies performed for authorities to confirm these findings?
      Complications from covid are astonishing. Heart attack, lung complications, ect.
      In my city alone over 80000 cases confirmed. Today within 24 hours 4200 added cases & 144 deaths. These estimates are staggering with 6 more testing sites to be added by the end of the week.
      To believe it's a HOAX is false.

    9. Same in Sinaloa one of my members past from a heart atack...IMSS personal offered to pay for the burials...only if they signed it was covid related

      Delete
    10. perhaps its true; signing that its covid related. makes sense. theres a lot of programs going around. The bank im in offered covid relief programs. Im not affected by it economically but I took it and will save some interest.
      In these hospitals social service areas, the social workers will do anything to help the needy and if that means saying they died coviid related to get a relief package they will do it to benefit the family.

    11. My family members passed away from a car crash and another from alcohol poisoning. They offered 30,000 pesos and to cremate the remains. This covid 19 is BS. We shut down and ruined whole countries for something that has a 0.20% chance of killing you.....

    12. @2:55pm
      I said, I repeat, that what was said @4:38 doesn't follow, it still doesn't. Now, you express bewilderment and conclude it's a hoax. Because something is astonishing to you (based on what?) it therefore gives you licence to declare what is or isn't a hoax? Bewilderment is not evidence but only an indication of your ignorance.

  5. Gordo's health was already compromised from obesity and all the other ailments that go along with it. Covid-19 just bumped him into the next realm as he was 'bout to go anyhow. Here's to padding the numbers.

  11. Perhaps if the US wouldn't count every single death as Covid19 the numbers would be lower, hospitals and democratic states are trying to cash in on federal dollars provide by the cares act , its no longer a public health issue the US is now approaching coronavirus from a political standpoint -The Furious One

    3. Guess one's weekly income for peanuts can justify one's death. Placing a figure of sacrifice is what this government has led it to. If not for the delayed response from government to confine covid we wouldn't be in this situation.
      Pretty sure u didn't have any loved one die from covid?
      Especially where confirmed cases are well above 80000? And the mortality at 4000.
      I lost my aunt to this pandemic recently. Along with her daughter (cousin) placed on a ventilator.
      It's only political when companies loose profits.
      Feel free to walk around a lick everything u see in my city.

      It's the responsibility of federal government to assure & provide all its citizens with life essential elements.
      What's the point of having a federal government when states are left alone.

      Suggest u research the severity of your comment. This coming from a business owner & spouse of a health care worker on the front lines.

    6. @E42 and how exactly do we know they died from it ? Do you have verified laboratory results that show confirmation of the virus? The cdc as is now revising its death toll because it cannot not account or attribute certain deaths to Covid19, suddenly no one is dying of heart disease , diabetes etc. Your numbers are completely exaggerated and i highly doubt you The furious one

    7. @ 3:56
      Thank you for your condolences.
      The situation is dire and very real. Wish people would just listen to the science than corporate vultures.
      Those fortunate states with minimal confirmed cases should closely monitor this pandemic.
      I wish the best for all in these times of hardships, financially and mentally.
      Be safe and wash your hands frequently. This virus is far from over and has changed the way we will live in the future.
      This Friday wife & I will be attending my aunt's burial from afar. Where state guidelines have forbidden gatherings of 10 people.
      Chicago has a long way to go still.
      My prayers for all of u here on BB.

    2. @6:57 you should be scared of the virus then since you are obese and have underlying health conditions. But fun fact the coronavirus has killed healthy people with no underlying health conditions too so stop thinking it only kills far people.
