The manta appeared hanging on the school site located in the streets of Marcelo Rubio and Colima, it was around 08:00 am that it was discovered by members of joint command, who attended the scene.
The narco manta makes reference to "I am locked up but not dead", in addition it makes a direct threat against security elements of the PGJE that operated with him, making clear his anger though he remains behind bars.
Within the threat, it also addressed a "former collaborator and former compadre", Rene 00, in which he clearly states that "I am against you".
In the analysis made by a Military officer, he points out that in recent events in which it seems that the same group is eliminating operators from the same criminal cell.
However, officers from different corporations attached to the Public Safety Coordination Group have denoted a notable fracture in the criminal cell that operates for the CJNG.
In the closing of the manta message, they mention that there will be more violence between criminal groups disputing the plaza, the message is signed " your ex friend El Babay".
Experts of the PGJE, analyzing the text and the weapons that took the life of the former Deputy Attorney General correspond to weapons used in other killings, to get a clearer interpretation.
