“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Video translation is as follows:
A clear image of the successor to José Alberto García Vilano aka La Kena, who was the leader of the Scorpion Group until he was captured in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon while out shopping, has emerged on social media.
Armando Lopez Garces aka El Pájaro was identified as one of La Kena’s second-in-command and his likely successor.
He is also accused of being one of the individuals responsible for the kidnapping of the American citizens in Matamoros a few months ago.
The photo released shows a man armed with a rifle, wearing a plate carrier, with a San Judas chain hanging from his neck while smiling at the camera.
* The San Judas chain is a popular accessory among Catholics and other Christians who venerate Saint Jude as the patron saint of hopeless cases and desperate situations.
