When El Ponchis is released I think we can say we can expect much of the same as this thug, only as an American citizen Ponchis is free to “come home” to the United States.
When one hears the term “Child Sicario” we think of Ponchis is, the 12 year old child assassin convicted of four killings, but suspected in many more, which began in his early teens. However, he was not the first infamous child hitman of Mexico, that dishonor goes to Iván Adrián Pizaña Rojano, aka El Ivancito .
His gang was made up of El Negro, El Chocorrol, El Furcio and El Güero. All were arrested and the last to be released was El Ivancito , the others were younger and Mexican law dictate their release at the age of 18.
His gang was named “El Invancitos”, and they were convicted of 7 executions but implicated in at least 19 others.
He was charged with armed robbery, kidnapping and murder. It was his gang of teenagers who terrorized the neighborhood of Ermita-Zaragoza, in Iztapalapa. Before his arrest, his girlfriend gave birth to a son. He was captured as he made a visit to see his son.
He was incarcerated at the Center for Justice of Adolescents until the age of 22.
His mother had threatened to file complaints with the Human Rights Commission of Mexico City, protesting that prison officials were unlawfully detaining her son. He had served the full five year sentence, the pressure worked and he was released on November 14, 2012.
Immediately he picked up his life of crime where he was 4 years ago, and his reign of crime appeared seamless to his life prior to his arrest, armed robbery, assault, armed assaults on public roads and kidnapping. On December 26, a murder.
On that day, El Ivancito threatened the family of Francisco Javier Ángeles Gutiérrez attempting to force them to withdraw criminal charges against him after he inflicted injuries on the family.
Accompanied by his new gang he then shot and killed the 21 year old Francisco then fled the scene. Residents who witnessed the murder came forth and were willing to identify the killer as Invancito.

For Ivancito, this time there is no easy incarceration at the cushy narco teen center where it is reported he was a capo of sorts to his fellow inmates, this time he was taken to the San Fernando Men’s South Detention Center, where he has no protection, no activities and severe restrictions.
At his arraignment on the 11th of January at the headquarters of the Attorney General of Justice he protested his innocence saying “besides being a student, I am a good Catholic and I did not kill anyone”.
The prosecutor reports he will ask the judge for the maximum penalty under the law with mitigating circumstances referring to his previous homicide history.
His aggressive and wide-ranging time of terror since his release was stunning.
He was free for a total of 57 days.
