UPDATE at Bottom:
El Debate is reporting that Johnathan Salas Avilez, alias "El Fantasma", has been captured by federal agencies. The capture reportedly occurred in the city of Costa Rica, Sinaloa. Costa Rica is 30 miles south of Culiacan (see map).
Few details have been given other than he is detained, so it was a live capture, and four body guards also captured and detained.
Fantasma has been reported captured and even dead in prior reports, but this is what is being reported.
He is the chief of "security" for El Chapo.
Residents report that a convoy of eight vehicles were seen in the early morning, and the same time 3 Marina helicopters were flying over head and landed in a neighborhood center.
The action lacks further details other than it occurred near, the neighborhoods of Oso Nuevo, Oso Viejo and Loma de Redo in the town of Costa Rica.

UPDATE:
Higuera Gomez the attorney general of Sinaloa says he does not have an official report because the operation that resulted in the capture was a federal operation, but that he was aware of the operation and the capture that took place... Sounds like a confirmation to me.
Thanks to Mano of forum for the heads up...and Siskiyou_kid..I hope this is the correct photo of him...
