This afternoon, a member of the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) was shot at inside his truck at the intersection of Búho and Quetzal streets, in the Parques de las Aves neighborhood in Zapopan. According to unofficial information, the victim is a lieutenant of the Mexican Army.

The military officer was driving his truck when he was attacked by gunshot wounds by a person on a motorcycle. The military officer was shot in the head and was taken in serious condition to the Cruz Verde Niña Eva, located in Carretera a Colotlán, in Zapopan, to be later admitted to a SEDENA hospital.

The victim was on his day off when he was attacked. The causes of the attack and the whereabouts of the alleged perpetrator are unknown at this time. After being shot in the head, the soldier lost control of his truck and crashed into a retaining wall. Zapopan police officers arrived at the scene and cordoned off the area while awaiting the arrival of the Public Prosecutor's Office agents, who are already conducting the corresponding investigations to clarify the facts.

On October 31, members of the Mexican Army and the National Guard arrested Armando 'N', known as 'Delta 1' or 'Maximo', who is said to be the third in command of the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation (CJNG) in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, as well as the person responsible for the expansion of the criminal group in Michoacan.

Delta 1' was arrested in a non-violent operation in the Lagos del Country neighborhood in Zapopan. He controlled criminal operations in the federal prison of Puente Grande, where he coordinated a group of hitmen known as 'Los Deltas', a violent group involved in murders, kidnappings and extortion in Jalisco and other states in the country, reported SEDENA.

Armando 'N' was arrested in 2020, but was released without any explanation from the authorities. In addition to allegedly leading the group of hitmen, this time he is accused of being responsible for the operation of some money laundering businesses for the CJNG.

By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat

Six alleged members of CJNG Grupo Delta were arrested in a raid on a safe house in Tenancingo, State of Mexico this afternoon, according to a post on the Secretary of Mexico State Security Twitter account. One kidnapped woman was freed and various tactical equipment was seized.

The victim, age 24, was held and tortured for 14 days. The criminals cut off two of her fingers as they attempted to gain information about her father, who is an avocado farmer, according to Milenio. The men arrested are identified as Rubén "N", Ricardo "N", Edgar "N", Jesús "N", Susano "N" and Alexis "N", of 32, 23, 19, 41, 22 and 18 years old. 

Authorities were investigating several tips they received accusing the gang of being involved in extortion, kidnapping, and cobro de piso. 

Photos show authorities seized several AR and AK style rifles, pistols, cartridges, and six vests with  bulletproof plates. Among the equipment photographed is a police-style battering ram, an appropriate tool for kidnappers.

Five of the vests have the words 'CJNG' and 'DELTA' on them, a reference to their particular criminal cell within CJNG. 

The Delta cell is a faction within CJNG which surfaced in 2019. They have been behind many high profile attacks such as the killing of the ex governor of Jalisco, Aristoteles Sandoval in December 2020.
