During routine patrols near the New Central Bus Station, officers from the San Pedro Tlaquepaque Secretariat of Public Safety and Citizen Protection rescued two teenagers who were attempting to travel to another state after receiving false job offers.

The officers approached them to offer assistance and conduct a preliminary interview, during which they confirmed that they were minors.

One of them stated he was 16 years old and from the state of Guerrero, and the other 17 years old and from the state of Nayarit. They stated that they were traveling to Guerrero, allegedly after receiving promises of high-paying jobs.

They also indicated that they did not have bus tickets and were not accompanied by family members or guardians. One of them stated that his family was unaware of his trip from Nayarit to Guerrero.

Given the risk posed by these types of situations involving false job offers targeting minors, personnel from the Andromeda Group were called in.

They were also taken into protective custody, with their physical and emotional well-being prioritized at all times.

A check revealed that none of them had an active missing person report or file, so they were referred to the Public Prosecutor's Office for Children and Adolescents, which ordered their transfer to the Ciudad Niñez (Children's City) facility.

That agency will open an investigation file for their subsequent reintegration with their families.

From October 1, 2024, to this Monday, a total of 75 people, including adults, adolescents, and women, have been located and taken into protective custody in the area of ​​the New Central Bus Station.

They are being accused of conducting fraudulent raffles and granting "loan shark" loans.

State police officers and federal authorities arrested three individuals from South America involved in fraudulent raffles and "loan sharking" schemes in the municipalities of Zapopan and Guadalajara.

The first incident occurred at the intersection of Oss and Amsterdam streets in the Valle de los Molinos neighborhood of Zapopan.

Officers observed two men who matched the descriptions provided in citizen reports that accused them of allegedly collecting money through fraudulent means.

Upon verifying their identities, they discovered that both individuals presented credentials identifying them as Colombian citizens. However, because they could not prove their legal residency in the country, they were referred to personnel from the National Institute of Migration.

The second incident occurred at the intersection of Mandarina Avenue and 9th Street, in the wholesale market in Guadalajara, where police officers encountered a Venezuelan national who could not prove his legal status in Mexico.

The State Prosecutor's Office located a clandestine grave in the Las Agujas neighborhood of Zapopan. The investigation has been ongoing since February. Its existence was only recently discovered when it appeared on the website of the Special Deputy Prosecutor for Missing Persons, on the list of clandestine graves located in the state.

The fenced site is in a semi-deserted area near the La Venta-Nextipac highway, behind a company that assembles electrical parts, west of Zapopan, within the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area.

When questioned about the clandestine burial site located on the Camino a Las Agujas, prosecutor Salvador González de los Santos stated that more than 160 bags containing human remains have been recorded.

"The search process is not yet complete, although no one has been found. On average, there were 169 bags, and based on the analysis of the remains found, according to the report issued by the Jalisco Institute of Forensic Sciences, they correspond to 34 people," stated González de los Santos.

Contrary to what the prosecutor stated, the website of the Special Deputy Prosecutor's Office indicates that 35 bodies have been found, of which 15 have been identified; 14 were men and one was a woman. The website indicates that the status is under investigation.

Work is being done at the site with machinery, as well as various tools and implements.

"We have dogs used to detect remains or corpses, rods are used, and ground-penetrating radars are also used to determine if human remains are still present. We're almost there to close this case," said the head of the state's law enforcement agency.

The grave was discovered at the end of February after a private company attempted to carry out construction work. While excavating, they discovered human remains, so they notified the authorities. Because of this situation, the case had not been reported.

A Jalisco lawyer is executed; his wife was murdered 10 days ago.

THIS INFORMATION WAS POSTED BY PROCESO 

The Prosecutor's Office suspects the murders are related to the legal cases the couple handled.

WRITTEN BY: ELIZABETH RIVERA AVELAR 

GUADALAJARA (apro) – The shooting of a lawyer on Wednesday in the Arcos Vallarta neighborhood of Guadalajara could be linked to another homicide: that of his wife, also a lawyer, who was shot to death in Tlajomulco on June 2. Both incidents occurred just 10 days apart.

The lawyer's murder occurred at the intersection of Luis Pérez Verdía and Vallarta avenues, in the western part of Guadalajara. He was intercepted by armed individuals who shot him several times before fleeing. Municipal and state authorities cordoned off the crime scene and launched a search operation in the area; however, no arrests have been made so far.

The state Attorney General's Office suspects these homicides are connected to the legal cases the couple handled. Prosecutor Salvador González de los Santos indicated that one of the lines of investigation revolves around his professional activity, possibly related to a conflict in another state. He confirmed that both the lawyer and his wife had received previous threats, which reinforces the hypothesis of a professional motive.

“Yes, he received some threats. We are investigating; it's a matter not related to Jalisco, but to another state. This lawyer was the husband of another lawyer who was murdered on June 2. We are verifying all aspects to see if there is any connection,” he stated.

The murder of the 62-year-old lawyer occurred this Wednesday, June 11, outside a law office. His body was found in the driver's seat of a red compact car, which had both front door windows shattered by bullets.

Authorities are trying to determine the connection between the couple's murders; so far, only one arrest warrant has been issued for the woman's murder. The 52-year-old, originally from Nayarit, was shot 10 times in the neck and chest. "I want to mention that we already have an arrest warrant for the wife's murder. We continue to gather all the evidence and conduct investigations," the state official said.

The man worked primarily in civil litigation, although he also practiced as a criminal lawyer.

According to the National Detention Registry (RND) of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), Gómez Núñez - allegedly the CJNG's operational leader in Guadalajara - was arrested in the company of a woman, identified as his alleged romantic partner.

At the time of his capture, 'Delta 1′ was wearing blue jeans, white tennis shoes and a black short-sleeved shirt. After his arrest, he was handed over to the authorities of the Special Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO) and the Special Prosecutor's Office for the Investigation of Crimes against Health (FEIDCS) of the Attorney General's Office.

Delta 1′ had already been arrested on June 21, 2020, one kilometer away, on Manuel de Mimbela Street, near Enrique Díaz de León Avenue, in the Jardines del Country neighborhood of the same municipality in Jalisco. On that occasion, it was secured after a search, in which elements of the Attorney General's Office, the National Defense Secretariat (SEDENA), the National Guard and the National Intelligence Center (CNI) participated.

Two long rifle-type weapons, one short weapon, two magazines, 16 cartridges, seven cell phones and 519,000 rounds of ammunition were seized.

However, the head of the hitmen - who is also allegedly led by Francisco Javier Gudiño Haro, alias “La Gallina” - was released from prison under unknown circumstances and on unknown dates.
