After the capture of Víctor Barraza Martínez "28", "El Vidal", on November 26, 2014 at a safe house in the calle Gilberto Mendoza of the Civilizadores de la paz settlement, the attorney specializing in investigation of organized crime (SEIDO) initiated and launched a special operation that hopefully leads to the arrest of Abel Nahum Quintero Manjarrez or Cruz Alonso Lozoya Uriarte "El Grande".

According to federal and military authorities, El Grande is considered the ringleader of the second para-military Cartel Cell responsible for the wave of violence plaguing the capital of Baja California Sur since July 31st.

On the day of his capture, "28" revealed that both he and "El Grande", were part of the military arm of the Organization of Dámaso López Núñez "El Licenciado" and Dámaso López Serrano "El Mini Lic" in the city of La Paz, with the same hierarchical level within the Special forces of Dámaso headed by Edgar Amilcar Acosta Reyes "El Rey"; having a group of between five and ten Hitmen hired specifically to murder their rivals, at the service of Rolando González Moreno "El Compadrón" and Luis Antonio Montoya Beltrán "Montoya", "Don Carlos", or "El Artista",from Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada's organisation.

During the interrogation, and in the hands of his captors, "28" explained the modus operandi of the criminal group. On the one hand, he stated that he was responsible for kidnapping, torture, and executing his opponents and throwing their bodies in premises and public roads "El Grande" chased and attacked vehicles of enemies.

The intention was to regain control of the retail drug trade in the North of La Paz, because since the capture of the former crime boss Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, Dámaso López Núñez "El Licenciado" and Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada had come into conflict for that territory and others in various parts of the country.

On the day of his capture, "28" was in possession of a Matra radio , with the number 170, property of the State preventive police, which belonged to agent Hilario Flores Ramírez "El Yiyo", family member of the former Commissioner Fernando Ramírez Martínez "El Sabueso" and people close to the former Governor Irineo Martínez Ordaz tours Coordinator. However, and after hearing the case,they tried to make a last-minute change to the paperwork so the radio would appear as assigned to a former agent name Fabian Jaime Meza, as a strategy to protect the police functions.

Therefore,after "28" was interrogated by his captors, it was no surprise that according to his version of events " all of the time he had the protection of the preventive State Corporation, in charge is Francisco Javier Camacho Manríquez and the State Secretary of public security headed by Martha Cecilia Garzón López.

"28" also revealed that his protection was such, that on 22 September last, three of his cohort of hitmen were arrested on a carratera filter road at the 11 km of the section La Paz-San Juan's de planes, the Director of the Center of Social readaptation de paz made a maneuver and, without previously notifying the Attorney General of Justice of the State (PGJE) ,ordered the release of the gunman, Gustavo Lozoya Portillo, 22, originally from Baridaguato, Sinaloa.

Obviously, he said, that generated a conflict because when they arrived with the order of warrants against Portillo,he was no longer in prison. After being captured in the joint operation of the PGJE, Marinas and Mexican army, Víctor Barraza Martínez "28", along with five of his henchmen were transferred to the State Attorney's Office,they were immediately put in cells and placed at the disposal of the Special Unit in investigation of crimes against health( SEIDO ), because coincidentally that day a group of federal agents had arrived.

The next day, the six detainees were transferred in the morning to La Paz "Manuel Márquez de León" International Airport, then onto Mexico City Airport, and from there, to the Centre Base of SEIDO, so they opened preliminary investigation PGR/SEIDO/UEIDS/605/2014. The arrested hit men were questioned about the structure of the criminal group, its networks and links; They also offered the names of all the members of their organization and their rival gangs, and they talked about a series of telephone numbers found in their cell phones, as well as information which was found in some computers and confiscated equipment.

For example, according to data obtained by ZETA research,a video was found which recorded the murder of the narcomenudista Carlos Castro Hale "Freckles" or "El Guero" who died on 22 November and whose body was found in la calle Mantarraya, at the entrance to Mero y Camarón, Colonia Fidepaz.

The videotaping shows Juan Manuel Becerra Osuna or José Miguel García García "Meño" or "El Recio" and Juan Manuel González Montaño "El Millagui", beating and torturing their victim, from whom they sought to obtain information about the whereabouts of Rolando González Moreno "El Compadrón" and Luis Antonio Montoya Beltrán "Montoya", "Don Carlos", or "La Artista". The time of death was recorded, when the pair of "El Meño" or "The Recio", Monserrat Guadalupe Villa Arciniega "La Lupita", begins to cut a message into his skin which read "100% Dog "; then another woman and a man stuck a wooden stake in some part of his body.

The main cause of this wave of violence is that the heads of sicarios, Víctor Barraza Martínez "28" and Cruz Alfonso Lozoya Uriarte "El Grande" - according to messages found on the mobile phones of Barraza - received economic and logistical support from the chief of plaza for the retail drug trade in the South, Jose Fernando Torres Montenegro or José Francisco Ojeda Torres "The Pepillo", Alejandro Sánchez Trejo "El Peinado” or “El Frank and Ranulfo Lopez Portillo.

The crew turned out to be Teodoro Orona "El Teo" Quiñonez and Eusebio Oroña Quiñonez, who had in his possession two 9 mm pistols . Based on data collected by ZETA, it was the third time that the detainees had been arrested carrying weapons, but had been released by the courts of first and second district. However, this last time they failed im their bid for freedom, for two reasons:

Similarly, the members of the band "Los Flamingos" were arrested and secured with them was the vehicle used in the killing, in whose interior the PGJE found an assault rifle, a cartridge .223, as well as useful cartridges 9 mm and 38 super. According to witnesses,on the night of the attack, officers of the Municipal police of La Paz and Ministerial of the State police in the community of El Sargento, refused to help the victim when he asked for help after being shot

Also according to testimony, the Dodge Durango truck of the hitmen was damaged in the attack, after which they had to push it to abandon it at the edge of a beach, to flee on foot. The police were there and did nothing to stop the criminals, until they were arrested and consigned to the penal judge.

The last to fall, Ariel Bautista Lopez "The Ari", was captured at a police roadblock at the entrance to Los Cabos, and on his cell phone were found posts by criminal groups, requesting the locations of houses of the narcomenudistas because "they would soon go to kidnap and kill people" at that beach location.
