Overview

• Ángel Benito, a Hilarios clan member implicated in the San Lázaro shooting that killed a two-year-old, is on the run after skipping his return to the Centro de Inserción Social in Cáceres.
• The shooting followed an altercation between Hilarios and Loletes clan members at a Plasencia club, intensifying the feud between the two criminal groups.
• Judicial proceedings are set to transition to a jury trial on May 2, with Ángel Benito's absence not expected to disrupt the process due to the relatively minor penalties being sought.
• The clan leader, also named Ángel Benito, has been missing since escaping from Valladolid Prison in February, where he was serving over 20 years for serious crimes including drug trafficking.
• Authorities continue investigations into multiple charges against the younger Benito, though clear evidence has only been established for riña tumultuaria.
