**Key Suspect Arrested in the Murder of Cristian Vázquez**
On Saturday, November 2, authorities apprehended a suspect known as “El Parque,” who is one of the key individuals allegedly involved in the murder of Cristian Iván Vázquez González. Vázquez, a campaign advisor for the former mayor of Tecate, Darío Benítez, was tragically killed on May 27, 2024. This arrest was announced by Miguel Ángel Gaxiola Rodríguez, the head of the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Crimes Against Life.
During a press conference on November 4, Gaxiola Rodríguez revealed that the arrest followed a series of six raids, during which firearms were discovered, providing sufficient evidence to identify those involved in the crime. The authorities then sought judicial approval for arrest warrants, which included the capture of “El Parque.” The suspect was found in a rehabilitation center in Ensenada and brought before the judge in Tecate.
The second suspect, known as “El Lencho,” was killed in a confrontation between criminal groups in Tecate two weeks prior. According to the prosecutor, “El Lencho” had a direct involvement in the murder and had an active arrest warrant against him at the time of his death. The third suspect remains at large with an outstanding arrest warrant for their involvement in the homicide.
Gaxiola mentioned that investigations are ongoing to determine if there was any intellectual author behind the assassination.
