SEMAR Task Force Captures ‘El Ray,’ Alleged Crazy Group Leader in Ecatepec

An intelligence‑led raid coordinated with state investigators targeted a priority suspect tied to homicide, extortion, and property dispossession in the municipality.

Overview

  • He was detained in the Jardines de Casa Nueva neighborhood after coordinated intelligence and field work by SEMAR’s Fuerza de Tarea Ecatepec, municipal police, and the FGJEM investigative police.
  • Authorities identify Jonathan “N,” alias “El Ray,” as the head of Crazy Group and a major driver of violence in Ecatepec.
  • A records check on Plataforma México showed an active arrest warrant for qualified homicide issued on October 25, 2023.
  • Following the arrest, he was transferred to the Dr. Sergio García Ramírez Social Readaptation Center in Chiconautla and presented to a control judge.
  • Reports describe Crazy Group as a dissident faction tied to Los Mayas and linked by federal briefings to the broader USON network reportedly led by fugitive Guillermo Fragoso Báez, with local alignments shifting after the 2025 detention of “El Choko.”
