After his arrest on Tuesday, today Martiniano de Jesús aka “Pata de Queso” died while hospitalized. He died from kidney failure.
The regional leader of the Zetas was also referred to Z-74 and belonged to the Old School Zetas.
He is yet another narco that the government says is responsible for the killings of 72 migrants in San Fernando, Tamaulipas. He is also named as a “generator of violence” and on the most wanted list. Investigation by the federal police indicates he was responsible for directing many kidnappings including one of “a US citizen”.
That may be the US citizen identified by DNA in 2011, during the exhuming of 193 bodies in fosas near and around San Fernando. The American, was forcibly pulled off a Matamoros intercity bus Along with dozens of others, after Zetas questioned people on the bus before deciding who to abduct.

The abduction occurred in November, 2010, at the time when heavy violence, massive shootouts, riots and killing erupted, after the killing of CDG CapoTony Tormenta. This marked a pivot in the narco war in Tamaulipas and is responsible for Zetas gain of power in the state.
