The arrest took place at 9:40 a.m. this Thursday.

For the third time, elements of the Federal Forces have arrested Armando G., also known as Delta 1, identified as the leader of the elite hit squad known as the Deltas, of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

According to the National Registry of Detentions, the arrest took place at 9:40 a.m. this Thursday. At the time of his arrest, Armando, who is 1.70 meters tall, was wearing braces, black sneakers, black shorts, a pink t-shirt, and a black sweatshirt with bright orange accents.

Although the National Registry of Detentions does not mention the location where Armando G. was apprehended, sources close to the investigation indicate that the operation to capture him took place in the municipality of Zapopan.

First Arrest

Armando G, also known as Máximo, was first arrested on June 21, 2020, on the streets of the Jardines del Country neighborhood in the municipality of Guadalajara. The reasons why Gómez Núñez was released after his 2020 capture remain unknown.

Second Capture

Last Monday, October 28, 2024, National Guard officers arrested Delta 1 for the second time at 5:03 PM on Patria Avenue, between Lago Superior and La Presa avenues, in the Lagos del Country neighborhood, the same neighborhood where he was captured in 2020.

At the time of the arrest, the National Guard seized a vehicle, a rifle loaded with 10 rounds, plastic bags containing 1.053 kilograms of methamphetamine, and three magazines with a total of 49 live rounds.

The Attorney General's Office reported that Armando G was indicted for drug offenses, specifically simple possession of methamphetamine hydrochloride, as well as possession of a firearm, magazines, and ammunition for the exclusive use of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. In addition to the indictment, the District Judge based in Almoloya de Juárez, State of Mexico, ordered justified pretrial detention at Federal Social Rehabilitation Center No. 1 in Altiplano and granted four months for the complementary investigation.

However, last May, Armando G, identified as the third-in-command of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was granted house arrest by a federal judge.

Delta 1 Controlled Illicit Activities in Puente Grande

According to federal investigations, Delta 1's area of ​​influence is in the Guadalajara metropolitan area. He was also responsible for the attack committed on May 21, 2018, in the Chapultepec area, against Luis Carlos Nájera, the former State Attorney General during the previous administration headed by former Governor Jorge Aristóteles Sandoval Díaz.
