Overview

• State prosecutors said Jorge Luis “N”, also identified in some reports as José Luis “N” and known as “El Chispa” or “El Snoopy”, was captured in the Santa Mónica neighborhood of Querétaro.
• The apprehension took place under Operation Sinergia, which executed 13 search warrants and resulted in seizures of narcotics and weapons, with authorities crediting information-sharing led by SSPC chief Omar García Harfuch.
• Officials described the detainee as a priority objective and one of the main generators of violence in the region.
• Investigators identify him as the third alleged material perpetrator in the November 9, 2024 attack at the bar Los Cantaritos, following two arrests on November 21 and the March 20 capture of the presumed intellectual author, José Francisco “N” (“Alfa 1”).
• Authorities say the shooting targeted CJNG figures, including regional leader Fernando González Núñez (“La Flaca”) and a collaborator, and the investigation remains active to determine any additional involvement.
