Hello
er... ok give me... er...
give me one hour
yeah one hour
It hit the news, that's when we found out that everybody was ODing.
Yo, my name's Snake
I used to be affiliated with the Mickey Cobras
back in the early 2000s.
When people started dying, that's when the heat came on
We really didn't want nobody to die, but if it happened, it happened
We really didn't care, all we wanted was the money.
Back then, you know, we didn't even know that fentanyl was in the heroin
All we did was get it. Put it together and sold it
I remember it like it was yesterday
It was at least 100 police, 200 police, Feds, DEA, Chicago PD
U.S. Marshals, some of everybody
They got to locking everybody up, they ask questions later
If something happens to your face, so that it will never be the same
it does affect you.
We weren't told what we were doing on that operation
My name is
Deputy Officer Ivan Morales Corrales from the Federal Police
Intelligence Division.
We were told we were behind a convoy of pickup trucks
I told my partner
to watch out as anything could happen
because we knew it was dangerous
The shooting began with bursts of machine-gun fire
and that's when everything hits
You could hear it hitting the (armored) plate
When they hit the rotor, the roof of the helicopter caught fire
That's when we started falling
When the aircraft crashed on the ground, I was in shock
I knew I was going to get burned
because the flames were all around
My wife was pregnant
I didn't want to die and not meet my son
That's what helped me push through
I got out and I tried to put out
the fire as fast as I could
but the helicopter's fuel, the kerosene
meant that my jumpsuit burnt quickly
El Mencho escaped from that operation
I don't remember more
I think being in the hospital and having my wife visit me every day
was what helped me pull through
When I left the hospital, I left wearing my uniform
because that's what I wanted
It's believed that the current attacks
are related to the operation to arrest
the leader of the
Jalisco New Generation Cartel
El Mencho
He's not breathing
My name is Omar Hamid Garcia Harfuch
I am the Chief of Police for Mexico City
All ranks within the Mexico City Police start work really early
not just me
Edgar was driving
In the back was Rafael, who was the head of my security detail
and had been with me for 12-13 years
Our SUV stopped at a speed bump
and I saw a 3.5-ton truck cut us off
and I looked up and I only saw... like
individual faces that were popping up out of the back of the 3.5-ton truck
It was totally silent in the city
and the first (shot) made a tremendous sound
especially on the windscreen
Afterwards, the only things you could hear were
a rainfall of gunshots hitting the SUV
There was a lot of smoke, a lot of powder
Every hit would splinter bits of everything
I told Edgar, who was driving, to reverse
He reversed and he said the SUV wasn't working anymore
I couldn't see Edgar because he was in the seat in front of me
Rafa was literally next to me
He didn't suffer, it was very quick
I was just waiting for the one gunshot that would inevitably end it
That's what I was waiting for
When I heard the first siren, it was truly a relief
I had 15 wounds, four of which were serious
After the attack, my life changed
Obviously, I don't have the freedom to go out as I'd like to
I don't regret chasing after any criminal group
or any leader, including El Mencho, or whoever
