“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Meet Luis Gerardo Lucero Casanova aka El Casanova and Hector Ramon Alexis Villegas Barrios aka El Cid.
Both young men are operatives for the La Plaza Cartel. And as hired assassins for organized crime in the city of Guaymas.
The two men will narrate before the camera their illicit activities in the Gulf of California.
Their biggest mistake was trusting the local cartel to pay them for services rendered. Job after job was provided by the slightly experienced death dealers with no incentive in sight.
Slimy adults without any real intention of paying them took advantage of the gullible men within the port city.

Female voice over: The La Plaza Cartel uses deception to recruit young individuals as hitmen. They promise them money in return for killing innocent civilians. Which is a fabricated lie. Their gunmen are not even fed. Authorities, don’t allow for Francisco Javier Espinoza Camacho aka El Fino and Antonio Castro Valenzuela aka El Castro to continue committing these injustices in the Guaymas port.
Domingo: Just like that I want two people killed. Try to kill a distributor and a buyer that I know. Make sure that you shoot them twice in their heads. I don’t want to hear afterwards that they survived their injuries.
Gabriel: But we haven’t eaten sir.
