"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
The victim was attacked outside his home in Cuautepec, allegedly he was part of the "Los Escamos" criminal cell.
So far there are no detainees for the fact.
On the night of Thursday, November 23, there was an intense police mobilization in the area of Cuautepec, belonging to the Gustavo A. Madero neighborhood north of Mexico City, where an armed attack against a young man outside his home transpired.
According to newspaper reports, the victim was known in the area as "El Cachetes", a teenager allegedly dedicated to drug trafficking and robberies of passers-by. Elements of the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) arrived at the site, who cordoned off the perimeter
The events occurred at the intersection of Avenida del Trabajo and Calle Pantera, in the Cocoyotes neighborhood, where personnel from the Attorney General's Office (FGJ) of Mexico City arrived to carry out the removal of the body and lead the first investigations to clarify the motive for the homicide.
Through a statement, the SSC reported that during the night of October 20, "El Cachetes" in the company of another subject identified as Lauren "N", were arrested in possession of marijuana and cocaine. The events took place in the same colony where the minor was murdered.
During a surveillance tour in the Cocoyotes neighborhood, the officers noticed that, on the corner of Avenida del Castillo and Cerrada Castillo, two young people were handling wrappers similar to those used for drug sales.
El Cachetes" was arrested last October for alleged drug possession
In order to rule out any criminal act, they approached the subjects who were told that they would be searched. Their efforts resulted in the securing of 42 plastic bags with marijuana, 82 doses of cocaine, and cash. Both were taken to the Public Prosecutor's Office, but they were released due to them being underage.
Childhoods trapped by organized crime
Beyond the fact, it is worth asking who "El Cachetes" was and how a 15-year-old boy joined the ranks of organized crime. According to information from journalist Carlos Jiménez, the minor's name was Cristopher, and he was known in the neighborhood for his work related to the sale of drugs.
A report by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), published in 2017, points out that the number of young people working for organized crime amounts to 30,000. However, activist Saskia Niño de Rivera, of the Reinserta organization, estimates that the number exceeds 75,000.
The Network for the Rights of Children in Mexico (REDIM) has reported that the average life of young people who join the ranks of organized crime is approximately 10 years. The agency explains that criminal organizations have managed to build recruitment systems in the absence of public policies that positively influence the school, social and economic sphere of minors.
Wat a little punk. Looks like 10 years old.
ReplyDeleteHes not a punk hes a product of his environment 1151
DeleteThat’s cause he is young . He’s been manipulated by the environment and people around him.
DeleteThis is what cartels do.
There’s nothing nice or glamorous about them
Facts
DeleteThe kid started listening to Corridos very young, he felt like a bad ass.
DeleteHell in Tijuana, they banned Los Tucanes de Tijuana from playing in there home town.
"He’s been manipulated by the environment and people around him"
DeleteEven if he plugged and robbed you,you would still forgive him,keep making excuses
I guess depends on the person live 70 yrs as a farmer for 3 bucks a day just "to be alove" or live with plush extravagance for 5. I don't judge either decision. But who wants to be 74 yrs old working on an avocado farm 18 hours a day to eat the same small bowl of soup everyday with no end in sight
Delete2:43 if you lived to your 70's and were still working 18hrs for $3 bucks speaks more of what you've done with your life than where and why you're still working at that age.
Delete*@1:43*
DeleteSad.
ReplyDeleteHe looked like a little demon, good riddance.
ReplyDeleteBleeding hearts be all over you
DeleteWangsta going to meet his dead narco compadres.
ReplyDeleteYep instead of working 72 more years as a farmer Makin 2 bucks a day. That's a hell in and of itself
DeleteStamp out the hood rats.
ReplyDeleteyeah it is def more than 3,000. another one bites the dust.
ReplyDeleteGood
ReplyDeleteUn chilango menos :)
ReplyDeleteCan't outrun karma. Sad his life turned out that way.
ReplyDeleteBet hes been involved in murders in some kind of way
ReplyDeleteThose decapitated narcos without heads, limbs or arms. Do they walk around in hell without their heads and other missing parts? Anyone been to hell and how it looks like there? Let me know.
ReplyDeleteYour spirit goes to Heaven or Hell. If you believe in it. Don't be impatient we're all going to find out.
DeleteDamn he looked no more than 10-11 years old . Sad to see he didn’t even have a chance to realize the route he took was doomed . I know most Narcos have thought about it , even though they try to push the thought out of their mind , but I wonder if he really even took a second to sit and ponder that realization? As someone who took the same route into criminal activity at that age , I am glad to be here today , knowing I was able to really sit down and answer the question “ am I honestly ok with how this life decision will almost certainly end “? I’ve have yet to have seen a drug dealer who said “ hell yeah, even though I got a life sentence in prison , I don’t regret the life choice I made “😄 If anything , during my time in federal prison in my 20’s , I saw plenty of ballin/millionaires with +30yr sentences who were all saying the same “ if they could only have done things differently “. Too see life go on without you , kids grow up alone , wife leave you, loved ones die without being able to pay your respects , and everyone you know forget about like you don’t even exist , was torture every minute of everyday .
ReplyDeleteSo that’s why that lifestyle is the biggest trap in the world . To be a risk taker , risking your life and freedom , only to find out later that the ones you wanted to try and look good for , never cared about you at all, and are not going to even remember you in a month , let alone a year . Freedom/life feels 100 times better than money . The day you sit down and truly ask yourself “ am I 100% ok where this path takes me (especially the bad)“ , and the honest answer is yes, then I say remember this comment , for when that day comes
He started early. Saved a TON of lives by putting the little mocoso under the ground
ReplyDeleteGreat article. And I hope some youngsters in here see this and will change their ways or not head in that direction!!!!!
