Arrest made in Monday's murder of Reynosa prosecutor
In a shocking turn of events, Jaret Roberto "H," a suspected cartel member, has been arrested in connection with the assassination of Ernesto Cuitláhuac Vázquez Reyna, the chief prosecutor of Tamaulipas, Mexico. The Federal Attorney General's Office (FGR) made the announcement of the arrest.
The murder took place in the border city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, as Vázquez was driving down Reynosa's Miguel Hidalgo Boulevard. The attack resulted in the burning of Vázquez's vehicle, and it's been reported that he was shot during the attack.
Authorities believe that Jaret Roberto "H" is a member of 'Los Metros,' a faction of the 'Gulf Cartel.' The Gulf Cartel is one of the main groups responsible for fuel trafficking in the region and is known for its involvement in violent crimes. The connection to the Gulf Cartel derives from the cartel’s known involvement in violent enforcement and targeting government officials opposing their operations.
Vázquez, as a senior prosecutor in Tamaulipas—a key territory for the Gulf Cartel—was assassinated in a targeted attack linked to cartel retaliation or power struggles. Jaret Roberto "H" appears to be one of the operatives or affiliate members involved in carrying out such violent acts on behalf of or connected to the Gulf Cartel.
The attack on Vázquez's black Cadillac SUV involved the throwing of a grenade, according to recent reports. The FGR is continuing the investigation into Monday's attack and is searching for other suspects involved in the incident.
The arrest of Jaret Roberto "H" took place at a rehabilitation center in Reynosa, Tamaulipas. During the arrest, authorities seized two long guns, ammunition, and drugs. Additionally, information found on the man's cellphone established his direct participation in the homicide.
As the investigation continues, the public awaits further details about Jaret Roberto "H" and his exact role in the assassination of Vázquez. The FGR has identified him as a suspect with a pre-existing arrest warrant, and it's clear that his alleged ties to the Gulf Cartel make him a significant figure in this ongoing case.
