Overview

• Investigative police detained Luis Alberto “N”, alias “El Estúpido”, in Santa Úrsula Xitla, Tlalpan, and placed him in custody at the Reclusorio Preventivo Varonil Oriente.
• Prosecutors link him to an aggravated kidnapping in July 2020 in San Pablo Oztotepec, where a man was forced from a taxi and held for about three hours.
• Authorities describe “Los Estúpidos” as operating mainly in southern Mexico City and tie the group to robbery with violence, extortion, homicide and street‑level drug dealing.
• He previously faced a separate homicide proceeding in liberty after a federal judge modified his precautionary measures following an amparo.
• The FGJCDMX presents the capture as part of actions against violent groups and underscores the presumption of innocence, while some media identify the detainee as Luis Alberto Alcántara Cruz.
