Mexico City Police Arrest Alleged Familia Michoacana Faction Leader in Tlalpan

Officials say the operation followed months of surveillance linked to deadly February attacks in Tláhuac.

Overview

  • SSC officers detained Uziel Jesús 'S' along with Jorge Enrique 'H' and Félix Jesús 'N' during an intelligence-led stop in colonia Amsa, Tlalpan.
  • Investigators say they mapped the suspect’s movements and intercepted a gray SUV with Michoacán plates near Calle Puente and Prolongación de Miramontes, where one man carried a handgun.
  • The arrests are tied to probes into February incidents in Tláhuac, including a fatal attack on a woman in her vehicle on February 25 and gunfire at a wake that left a woman and a minor dead.
  • Police seized a pistol with seven rounds, 63 packets of apparent marijuana, 82 wraps of rock-like cocaine, about 40 grams of suspected crystal, cash, and three high-end cellphones.
  • The men, ages 31, 36, and 44, were turned over to the Ministerio Público, which will determine their legal status as investigations continue.
