The state Attorney General’s Office (FGJE) of Sonora reported on March 11 that elements of the Ministerial Criminal Investigation Agency (AMIC) captured David DeWayne Young, alias Khaos or Rocky Point; however, new information revealed that Los Chapitos, leaders of a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, allegedly participated in this arrest.
As reported by Infobae Mexico, Khaos was wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after he fled from U.S. authorities on January 11, 2023 after executing “Operation Arrested Phantom”.
DeWayne Young had been wanted by authorities since December 8, 2022 following the release of a warrant for his arrest by a U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia, which charged him with the crimes of conspiracy, distribution, sale and possession of narcotics.
According to U.S. authorities, the Ghostface Gangsters are primarily engaged in drug trafficking, police killings, and other acts of violence on the streets and in prisons in Georgia.
For this reason, twenty-five people, including three of the seven founders of Ghostface Gangsters Gang, also known for having a white supremacist ideology, pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including attempted murder, mutilation, use of a firearm during a crime of violence, among many others, in August 2022.

Official information states that David “N” was captured by ministerial agents on Bolsón de Mapimí street in the Solidaridad neighborhood in Hermosillo, Sonora.
This after agents from the National Migration Institute (INM) and AMIC personnel carried out “field and cabinet work with which they established the presumed location of the fugitive in order to capture him”.
Khaos, 43, was deported by the INM through the Dennis DeConcini Border Port, where he was handed over to U.S. authorities, informed the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Sonora (FGJES).
Despite the aforementioned, journalist Óscar Balmen assured that an FBI source informed him that Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán’s sons, better known as Los Chapitos, were involved in this arrest.
“As for El Chapo’s sons, they knew that a U.S. fugitive was hiding in one of their strongholds. They decided they would score points with the FBI and hand him over as a goodwill offering,” Balmen reported on Luis Cardenas’ program on MVS Noticias.
The journalist specialized in drug trafficking and security issues pointed out that “giving his head on a platter would be convenient for them, since, after the surprise arrest and express extradition of Ovidio (Guzmán), they had begun an operation to remove the label of Uncle Sam’s priority targets for trafficking fentanyl”.
Óscar Balmen detailed that neither Iván Archivaldo and his brothers Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar nor Joaquín Guzmán López were pleased with Young’s “anti-Mexican” discourse: “They detested him”.
“So Chapo’s sons secretly collaborated to hand him over,” said the journalist.
He assured that “at the beginning of last month, the elusive Khaos fell for an anonymous tip that people linked to Los Menores (as Los Chapitos are also known) gave to the National Guard in Hermosillo on March 10,” explained the journalist who highlighted how the sons of El Chapo Guzmán “laid an improbable hand to the U.S. authorities”.

April 14 marked one year since the U.S. Department of Justice announced new charges in federal courts in the Southern District of New York, Northern District of Illinois, and District of Columbia against several leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, including Los Chapitos and their associates in China who traffic precursor chemicals for the production of fentanyl.
