Who Is Juan Carlos Valencia González?
Born on September 12, 1984, in Santa Ana, California, Juan Carlos Valencia González, a.k.a. "Pelón," "Tricky Tres," "O3," "El 3," "JP," and "Pelacas," is the son of Armando Valencia Cornelio, a.k.a. "El Maradona" or "El Juanito," and Rosalinda González Valencia. Following the death of his stepfather, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes ("El Mencho"), he became the first American national to assume full control of a major Mexican cartel.
He spent his early childhood in California while his biological parents, Armando Valencia Cornelio and Rosalinda González Valencia, managed the logistics of the Milenio Cartel. After his biological father was arrested by the Mexican military in 2003, his mother married CJNG leader Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, a.k.a. "El Mencho," making him Valencia González's stepfather. Valencia González was raised alongside his cousins and half-siblings in the Guadalajara metropolitan area under the protection of the González Valencia ("Los Cuinis") family network.
On July 20, 2020, during a press conference hosted by Mexican President López Obrador, Secretary of Defense Luis Cresencio Sandoval González identified one of the leaders of Grupo Elite as Juan Carlos González, alias "El R-3."
On December 1, 2021, the U.S. Department of State announced a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his arrest and conviction for manufacturing, transporting, and distributing large quantities of narcotics, as well as for organizing numerous violent crimes.
Where Is the CJNG Now?
CJNG uses a franchise-based command structure—an affiliation agreement between smaller local cartels and the CJNG—to facilitate expansion outside its strongholds in Jalisco, Nayarit, and Colima. CJNG is one of Mexico's most powerful, influential, and ruthless transnational criminal organizations and a key supplier of illicit fentanyl to the United States. CJNG has expanded its operations beyond Mexico's borders, establishing a presence in more than 40 countries.
The CJNG's leadership succession became publicly clearer after the first official U.S. intelligence assessment identifying the organization's new leadership.
The New Heir Takes the Crown
In June 2026, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) publicly identified Juan Carlos Valencia González as the overall leader of the CJNG, with regional commanders overseeing the organization's day-to-day operations under his authority.
It is also worth noting that the report identifies Julio Alberto Castillo Rodríguez, a.k.a. "El Chorro," as the CJNG's second-in-command, senior lieutenant, and Oseguera's son-in-law, placing the CJNG within the old-school model, in which leadership remains within the family rather than passing to former lieutenants.
After the arrest of El Jardinero, during a detention plagued with inconsistencies, none of his bodyguards opened fire on the security forces and appeared to allow him to be arrested by the Mexican security authorities. This action fully consolidated the position of "El 03" on the throne of the CJNG, and with no other key figure inside the criminal organization capable of fighting for control, it seems that, at least for now, the full control of the CJNG by "El 03" appears uncontested.

ReplyDeleteThe map accuracy is subpar.. they have little presence in Baja, little presence in southern Zacatecas and NONE in Chihuahua.. Chihuahua has a non aggression pact with Jalisco but there’s no alliance and definitely no influence of Jalisco in Chihuahua.. Chihuahua es pura Linea y Sinaloa
ReplyDeleteJalisco moves drugs thru chihuas
DeleteWelcome to the big leagues bro!
ReplyDeleteThis evolution has so far been a disappointment in the US, it actually looks as though the way the fighters are getting aligned is more optimal for organized crime in the US, strengthening the crime organizations. You would think that all of these operations would be intended to have the opposite effect. But the whole of law enforcement in the states is infiltrated in ways that cause them to act in effective cooperation with the crime organizations, it's a much more complete penetration than in Mexico. Your evidence is that: look at what is obviously succeeding everywhere despite absolutely no rational economic reason at all for an illegal drugs and human trafficking racket to be this large.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you gibbering about ? U.S on the brain ?
