Well, that didn’t last long
After playing hide and seek with law enforcement in both Mexico and the U.S., César “N” — a man allegedly linked to homicides in Tijuana and across the border — finally ran out of luck on April 17. Authorities confirmed that the fugitive was captured during a high-intensity operation delightfully named “Gacela” (Spanish for gazelle, ironically enough, given how fast this guy had been running from the law).
The Baja California State Attorney General’s Office, led by Dr. Ma. Elena Andrade Ramírez, teamed up with Mexico’s Defense Forces to track down and arrest the suspect. The operation was carried out by a hefty squad of State Investigation Agency officers and a special defense unit, acting under the direction of the commissioner of the State Investigation Agency.
According to official statements, César “N” was a priority target for the state’s Security Board, which is personally overseen by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. She’s been keeping tabs on the situation since the day it became clear this guy wasn’t just a local problem — he was an international headache.
After a meticulous investigation that involved tactical data analysis and good old-fashioned detective work, the authorities located and subdued the suspect. He’s now facing legal proceedings, and yes, the usual “presumed innocent until proven guilty” line applies. But let’s just say, nobody’s betting the house on his innocence.
The arrest serves as a bold message from the Fiscalía General del Estado: if you stir up trouble in Baja, don’t expect to get comfy. As their motto not-so-subtly reminds us: In Baja California, if you do the crime — you do the time.
Stay tuned — we’ll let you know if “Operation Gacela: The Sequel” hits theaters near you.
