Sinaloa.- The head of the Federal Government's Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, acknowledged the heroic work of the Mexican Army in the operation that resulted in the death of Jorge Humberto "F," alias "El Perris" or "El 27," last Friday in Navolato, Sinaloa.

In a meeting at the Senate of the Republic, and when questioned by the media on this issue, the federal official indicated that the military was conducting an operation to arrest this individual, who was identified as one of the main perpetrators of violence in the region and who even had a wanted list from the United States.

He indicated that the soldiers were attacked, two of them were even injured, so they responded to the attack, and that the confrontation resulted in the death of "El Perris."

"I would like to mention that the Mexican Army performed a truly heroic task. Two military colleagues were wounded in this operation, which resulted in the death of this individual nicknamed 'El Perris.' This individual, known for his high level of violence, was linked to unlawful deprivation of liberty, kidnapping, and homicides, including his participation in what is known as the 'Culiacanazo,' in which he attacked authorities.

"This individual also had a bounty on him in the United States, and at the time of the operation leading to his arrest, military personnel were attacked, but bravely repelled the attack. They are wounded but out of danger, and we extend our full recognition to the Mexican Army," the head of Security stated.

Omar García Harfuch emphasized that President Claudia Sheinbaum's government continues with these strategies to combat insecurity, as evidenced by the fact that more than 21,000 people have been arrested so far during the current administration.

It is worth noting that on the afternoon of Friday, May 23, after a shootout between federal forces and armed civilians, Jorge Humberto "F," alias "El Perris" or "El 27," was killed in the town of Bariometo, in the municipality of Bachimeto, in the Sinaloa region.

During the same incident, it was confirmed that two soldiers were wounded by gunfire and were taken to a hospital in the city of Culiacán for medical attention.

 US authorities were offering a reward of one million dollars to anyone who provides information leading to the capture of "El 27," equivalent to approximately 20 million pesos.

On September 21, 2024, Jorge Humberto "N," alias "El 27" or "La Perris," allegedly escaped during an operation carried out by the Mexican Army, which ended in a confrontation in some apartments in the Tres Ríos Urban Development sector. It was reported that he fled through the sewers of said building.
