Zetas: Q ROO former regional chief killed in brutal ambush, leaving 1 baby dead 6 injured

Guillermo Aparicio Lara, "El Willy", a lieutenant and  Zetas former plaza chief of Playa del Carmen, and regional  leader of  Quintana Roo, was killed in Omealca, Veracruz.

Aparicio was ambushed Saturday  by a group of 8 hooded individuals, while driving in a mountainous region of  Veracruz. He was traveling in a silver Toyota Sienna , in the town of Matatenatito of the Omealca municipality .

Via his twitter account, the spokesman for Vercruz governor Javier Duarte announced the death of Aparicio,  once known by his Zeta key (code) Z32 or Z34.

The incident occurred about one o'clock in the afternoon on the main street of the township.  armed men traveling in a white Nissan sedan,  a white Nissan Frontier pickup truck,  and an international tractor trailer, boxed in Aparicio's Toyota and opened fire.

After assuring  the death of "El  Willy" the gunmen fled by federal Cordoba-Veracruz highway where they abandoned the blue International trailer. 

Aparicio was dead at the scene, receiving 10 bullet wounds in the body, also killed was his 18 month old daughter, Lara de Alba, who died at the Omealca  IMSS clinic from a bullet impact to the head so severe, it caused an exposure of  her brain.

The other passengers in Aparicio's Toyota were  injured, his  wife, Lara Mayara Alves Araujo, 27 years old, Margarita Lara Aparicio, mother of the deceased, Tyson Oviller Aparicio, 18 months, twin of Alba Lara; Malani Alves Araujo, 26, who suffered two bullet wounds in the legs; Mauricio Souza Alves, 4; Ernane Ferreira Souza, 25, and Luis Aparicio Antonio Delniega  4 years.

Aparicio, born in Veracruz, had taken refuge in Omealca after a conflict with Miguel Treviño, alias Z40.  

Aparicio was one of the first two groups of Zetas formed while Zetas were working for Cartel Golfo (CDG).  After the 2010 split Aparicio challenged Treviño for leadership of the lower gulf states, which led to a personal war between the two Zetas which ended with Aparicio being forced out after Zetas discovered he, along with his bbrother,  was conducting criminal activities separate from Zetas, and aligning themselves with opposing groups, such as Sinaloa and CDG.  

Aparicio's brother was kidnapped and a demand of 1million pesos was issued.  Aparicio realizing his activities had been discovered, took refuge in Veracruz.  

He has been hunted down since then, for a "settling of accounts".

At the scene more than 100 caps R-15 rifle and other gun 9 mm were found.
