Monterrey,
NL. Elements of the Road State Police captured three minors allegedly hit men
of the criminal group of the Zetas that operated in the rural zone of Nuevo

given by the Secretariat of Public Safety revealed that the three minors were armed,
with weapons and vehicles that appeared
on a stolen report list.
The arrest
occurred on a road called La Peñita of the municipality of Abasolo, after
police officers were patrolling in deserted areas and spotted the trio.

16 years old, Valentin”N” of 17 years old and Karen “N” of the same age,

Teen sicarios
are becoming more common place; however this story brings to mind the first
teen sciario that was widely publicized, known as “El Ponchis”, 14 years old
when apprehended. His story has many
twists and turns.
Ponchis’ real
name is Edgar Jimenez, and American citizen born in San Diego, California. Ponchis was born to a cocaine addict
resulting in his own addiction at birth.
Unwanted, he became a street kid
until his paternal grandmother intervened and took him to the slums of
Cuernavaca where he had a loving environment for the first time in his
life.

His grandmother died of
cancer when Ponchis was around 9 and once again he was left alone.
Ponchis worked for the South Pacific Cartel since he was 11, according
army officials who apprehended him.
Jimenez was captured with his 16-year -old sister who told reporters they
planned to cross the border to San Diego, California to see their mother.

"I participated in four executions, but I did it drugged and under threat
that if I didn't, they would kill me," the boy told reporters calmly when
he was handed over to the federal prosecutor Friday morning, showing no remorse.
"El Ponchis" made grisly headlines in Mexico when reports of murders
he allegedly committed surfaced.
Ponchis will soon be 18 at that time will be set free. He is an American citizen so there will be
nothing barring him from returning to his native country and no legal
restraints preventing him from living and traveling freely within the United
States or Mexico
