After earlier being pronounced brain dead, yesterday at 5AM CDG Metros boss, José Falcón Ismael Mendoza alias ““Commander Polimenso” died.
Evidently, there was no autopsy because reports state his family had already claimed the body and it was transferred to Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas for memorial services.
Also known as “Metro 60”, was a former agent of the preventative police in Miguel Aleman and Mier. He was originally a member of Los Zetas cartel and jumped to the Gulf Cartel after the split, working as a sicario and other activities of criminality in Reynosa including, extortion of the University of Valle de México in Reynosa.
Originally the news was he died in a shootout confrontation, later the news was updated to state he was in the hospital but in serious or critical condition. His injuries were sustained September 30th, on the following is from the BB post of that event;
The Attorney General of Justice of Tamaulipas reported that in the town of Reynosa, three armed men lost their lives after assaulting soldiers; the confrontation was recorded shortly after 04:00.
The conflict transpired on Hidalgo boulevard, boulevard near Mil Cumbres and Avenida El Pasito, where armed civilians who were traveling in in a late model Tahoe SUV, encountered Mexican Army soldiers performing tours of surveillance. Realizing the presence of the soldiers, the gunmen opened fire as they attempted to flee, but the driver of the Tahoe lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a lamppost.
The gunmen were members of Los Metros, an enforcer group of CDG (Golfo Cartel), including José Ismael Mendoza Falcón, alias "Polimenso" or "Metro 60". Mendoza did not die at the scene and was transferred to a nearby hospital for medical care where he succumbed to his injuries. He had sustained 5 bullet impacts.
The other metros died at the scene of the confrontation.
Itzli notes a letter that has been making the rounds of social media that contains some interesting information, here is an extraction:
Reynosa is fed up with the acts of Los Metros. It taunts the death of the "drug addict" Polimenso and threatens that the same will happen to others since the citizens know where they and their families all live and hide.
Note before reading the account below, that the photos taken at the scene depicted a man either dead or unconscious, although they may have been taken before the following occurred, just remember the information given in social media is not confirmed, in Tamaulipas narco news has a virtual blackout since 2010.

The notice further claims:
Polimenso was shot in the ass and was crying and denied his identity, but those accompanying him revealed who he was, hoping to save themselves. Tachas is said to have abandoned Polimenso and it makes fun of him for claiming to be so ready for combat and then runs like a coward despite Polimenso asking for his help. Polimenso is said to have saved Tachas several times.
Tachas is said to be in charge of the operations in Reynosa.
