Overview

• An unsigned note left at a Barracas police station named an alleged associate, identified as Emanuel Nicolás, and listed an address that may be linked to the case.
• Prosecutor Carlos Arribas ordered the letter seized and security footage reviewed to identify who delivered it, while other anonymous 911 calls are being assessed.
• Interpol issued a red notice for Tony Janhzen Valverde Victoriano, known as “Pequeño J,” and co‑accused Matías Agustín Ozorio is also wanted on aggravated homicide and gender‑based violence charges.
• Five suspects are in custody, and raids recovered falsified documents, ammunition and a Glock pistol as investigators probe the narcotrafficking network’s role.
• Peruvian reports trace Valverde’s upbringing to a violent enclave in Trujillo where his father was killed in 2018 and relatives were tied to local gangs, even as official records initially showed no criminal history for him.
