Héctor Villegas, Tamaulipas State Secretary Accused of Huachicol Links, Survives Ambush

By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat


Early this morning, the Tamaulipas State government reported that Héctor Joel Villegas González, the Tamaulipas State Secretary, survived an armed attack while driving on the Reynosa-San Fernando highway.

Villegas was traveling from Río Bravo towards Ciudad Victoria when his White Chevy Suburban and another escort vehicle were fired upon by armed men. According to a message from the official Tamaulipas state press relations Twitter account, authorities responded to the attack immediately and stated that Villegas is unharmed.

Villegas joined the administration of Tamaulipas governor Americo Villarreal Anaya in fall of 2022. He has been accused by local crime blog Valor Tamaulipeco of being involved in state extortion of fuel imports from the United States. In an article posted last month, Valor Tamaulipeco alleged that Villegas, along with other Tamaulipas cabinet members, charge "pay to pass" payments for fuel entering from the United States. 

Prior to this, Villegas has been accused of being associated with Sergio Carmona Alguno "The King of Huachicol", a Reynosa businessmen accused by state authorities of being involved in fuel theft. Carmona was killed in San Pedro Garza in November 2021.

One local news site, La Red Multimedia, suggested that Villegas' armored vehicle may even be a gift from Carmona, who used to provide local associated politicians with similar ones.

    1. I agree, a couple shot s don't seem like a cartel ambush. Maybe like a warning or something. I feel they would have overwhelmed them with people amd bullets if that were the case. Marked man for sure though!

    2. Unmarked white SUV could have mistaken for anyone. They say he traveled with an escort, but no picture of those vehicles

    3. @1212 to quickly explain https uses inception when sending information from user the server and vise versa http doesn’t so it’s less secure than https

    4. HTTPS is more secure and encripted

  4. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a protocol that secures communication and data transfer between a user's web browser and a website. HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP. The protocol protects users against eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks.

  6. They attacked him and did not spray the windshield? Just shoot at the top and bottom part of the door? The holes at the bottom look like exit holes. That’s fishy

    1. It’s an armored SUV. The tops and bottom of the doors are possibly the most vulnerable areas with gaps in armoring.
