Camilo Ochoa, Influencer Linked to La Chapiza, Shot Dead in Morelos

Authorities in Morelos have launched a state-federal inquiry following the fatal shooting, collecting forensic evidence to identify the perpetrator.

Overview

  • On Saturday around 17:00, a masked gunman entered Ochoa’s Lomas de Cuernavaca home and opened fire, then fled in a white Chevrolet.
  • The Fiscalía General del Estado de Morelos confirmed paramedics found Ochoa inside his bathroom with multiple gunshot wounds and no vital signs.
  • No suspects have been detained as the FGE coordinates with federal partners through the Mesa de Coordinación to process forensics and interview witnesses, including Ochoa’s spouse.
  • Ochoa built an online following of about 348,000 YouTube subscribers after his 2022 release from prison, branding himself as an ex-narcotraficante.
  • Intelligence-style flyers circulated in Culiacán earlier this year named him among alleged collaborators of La Chapiza, preceding threats and violence against other influencers.
