No less than eight narco traffickers, including the leader of the organization, Felipe de Jesus Perez, alias El Ojos, died today in a shoot out with members of the Mexican Marines in City of Mexico, informed that institution.
Perez was considered the head of the extremely violent organization that operated in the demarcation of Thahuac and Iztapalapa, in the south east of City of Mexico, detailed the Secretary of the Marines in a communication.
He assured that the delinquents fired on the Marines, who repelled the attack in a shoot in which eight members died from the criminal organization dedicated to the sale of drugs, extortion, kidnapping and homicides.
The confrontation happened during a vigilance operation that the Marina carried out in the south east zone of the capital in support of the PGR and as part of a Federal Police investigation.
At the scene of the shoot out the Marina found, various high powered rifles for exclusive use of the armed forces.
Perez is allegedly responsible for the distribution of drugs in the south and south east zones of the Capital, as well as in the installation of the Autonomous National University of Mexico.
According to Mexican authorities, Perez has operated his organization since 2012, and is responsible for 50 assassinations, among them a commander of the Attorney General of the State of Mexico in February 2016.

Official reports signalled that El Ojos was an extremely violent individual, and since 2013 have attributed dozens of assassinations in Milpa Alta, Xochimilco, Tlahuac, Iztapalapa and Coyoacan.
As well as threatening investigating police officers he left animal heads outside of agents homes. He felt so confident that last year he showed himself at the Zapotitlan fair, along with his sons and his bodyguards, where he commissioned a narco corrido.
He ran into trouble earlier this year when sicarios of El Gaston, another narco leader of the area wanted to take revenge on Perez for having ordered several murders.
El Ojos is one of 45 families that dominate drug trafficking in Mexico City, according to investigations by the PGR. On May 18th this year, the son of Perez Luna, Miguel Angel Perez, El Mickey, also known as El Ojitos was arrested.
