Overview

• A judge at the Federal Justice Center in the Reclusorio Norte imposed prison terms of 11 years and one month on Juan Antonio Cisneros Morales (“El Dedotes”) and Israel Jiménez Ávila (“El Yeye”) for qualified attempted homicide and criminal association.
• The sentences followed an abbreviated proceeding in which both admitted guilt as FEADLE and the Human Rights prosecutor’s office presented evidence, with monetary fines imposed and no order for victim reparations.
• Authorities now count 11 convictions linked to the December 15, 2022 attack, including earlier 14- and 12-year terms for Héctor Eduardo Martínez (“El Bart”), identified as the shooter, and Pool Pedro Francisco Gómez (“El Pool”), a coauthor.
• Prosecutors say statements in the case point to an order from CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera (“El Mencho”) and describe training for cell members at a ranch in Jalisco under a Colombian known as “El Primo.”
• Proceedings continue against other accused participants, notably Armando Escárcega Valdez (“El Patrón”), whom authorities identify as a coordinator tied to the group.
