EVDeN eVE nAkliyat<\/a> freed their leader, Ernesto ‘El Neto’ Pi\u00f1\u00f3n<\/p>\n<\/div>\nPi\u00f1\u00f3n was found guilty of kidnapping and murder in 2010 and sentenced to 224 years in prison.<\/p>\n
Authorities say he was also involved in ordering a wave of assaults throughout Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez on August 11 that left 11 people dead, 20 injured and multiple vehicles and business torched.<\/p>\n
At the same time, he organized a riot at the prison in an attempt to flee, but security forces were able to regain control.<\/p>\n
The citywide assaults were part of a rift reportedly sparked by Los Mexicles’ fallout with the Sinaloa Cartel faction that is overseen by Los Chapitos – El Chapo’s children – as the gang formed new alliance with Los Aztecas, the armed wing of the Ju\u00e1rez Cartel.<\/p>\n
Los Mexicles had also joined forces with the Caborca Cartel, the criminal organization founded by infamous jailed drug lord, Rafael Caro Quintero, who is awaiting extradition to the United States, where he is accused of the 1986 kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement Administration agent Kiki Camarena.<\/p>\n
The Caborca Cartel is also at odds with Los Chapitos.<\/p>\n
Vega served as Pi\u00f1\u00f3n’s main confidant at the prison, where they both shared a cell.<\/p>\n
He was deported to Mexico in September 2015, almost four years after he was arrested at an El Paso, Texas, fried chicken restaurant.<\/p>\n
Vega was detained December 27, 2011 at Church’s Chicken where he was employed as a cook a year after he fled from Mexican authorities after the ambush of the prison van he was being transported in, according to U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n
He and seven other Los Mexicles gang members abducted Natividad Torres at his Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez home on September 15, 2009.<\/p>\n
The kidnappers sought a return of $47,000 in exchange for Torres’ release but ended up settling for just $700, a television and a 2008 Toyota.Torres was shot four times on September 15 and released the following day.<\/p>\n
He died October 21 as a result of the gunshot wound and Vega and EVDeN eVe nAkLiYAt<\/a> four other kidnappers were arrested the next month.<\/p>\nVega was sentenced to 42 years for kidnapping and eVDEN eVE nAkliYAt murder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
