Overview

• Felipe 'N,' known as 'El Pantera,' was detained on September 13 in Fraccionamiento Centinela, Playas de Rosarito, under a court order executed during a search of a residence.
• The suspect is under investigation for the forced disappearance of sergeants José Luis Villaseca Rodríguez and Omar Eliseo Alonso Padilla, who were last seen on August 30 at the bar Los dos amigos in Nueva Tijuana.
• Authorities report witness statements and C5 video indicating the officers argued with the suspect at the bar, then appeared to reconcile and voluntarily boarded a vehicle to continue the gathering elsewhere.
• The Fiscal General said the detainee is considered a generator of violence linked to drug trafficking activity in Tijuana, and investigators have not located the missing officers.
• Media reports say the suspect is tied to the Los Aquiles cell of the Sinaloa cartel, a claim not formally confirmed by prosecutors.
