Mexican federal authorities announced on Monday that
they arrested Armando Gómez Núñez ("Delta 1" AKA "El
Máximo"), a suspected high-ranking member of the Jalisco New Generation
Cartel (CJNG). He is believed to command Los Deltas, an assassin squad based in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
On 21 June 2020, authorities carried out a
search inside a house in Jadines del Country, an upscale neighborhood in
Guadalajara. The search warrant was authorized by a Mexico City judge
specialized in investigation cases. Gómez Núñez was arrested at the house during a joint operation carried out by the Mexican
Army, the National Guard (GN) the Attorney General's Office (FGR) and
the National Intelligence Center (CNI).
