Arrest made in the homicide of Reynosa's district attorney on Monday
The authorities in Mexico have made an arrest in connection with the murder of Ernesto Cuitláhuac Vázquez Reyna, a federal prosecutor killed on August 4, 2025. Jaret Roberto "H", an alleged member of the armed faction Los Metros of the Cártel del Golfo, was captured in Reynosa, Tamaulipas.
Vázquez Reyna, the regional delegate of Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) in Tamaulipas, was responsible for investigating federal crimes including drug trafficking and fuel theft. The attack on him was particularly violent, with assailants intercepting his vehicle on Reynosa's Miguel Hidalgo Boulevard, throwing a fragmentation grenade inside, and then opening fire before fleeing.
The authorities are searching for other suspects involved in the attack. The Federal Attorney General's Office (FGR) tracked a vehicle involved in the attack and made the announcement of the arrest. The arrest took place at a rehabilitation center in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, and Jaret Roberto "H" was found hiding there. He was captured with two high-caliber firearms, ammunition, drugs, and a cellphone whose data reportedly contained key information linking him and his criminal group to the homicide.
It is believed the murder was retaliation linked to recent government operations disrupting the illicit fuel theft operations controlled by criminal factions in the region, including Los Metros. Reports also suggest that Vázquez Reyna was holding sensitive information about figures linked to the late businessman Sergio Carmona, potentially motivating some individuals to try to prevent him from revealing such data.
Jaret Roberto "H" was the target of a pre-existing arrest warrant. The investigation into the murder continues, and the authorities are not providing any information on the current status of Jaret Roberto "H". The FGR did not comment on this matter.
In summary, Jaret Roberto "H" is a suspect arrested for his role, as a member of Los Metros, in the orchestrated attack that killed federal prosecutor Ernesto Cuitláhuac Vázquez Reyna in Tamaulipas. The killing is tied to ongoing conflicts involving criminal fuel theft operations and retaliation by organized crime factions. The authorities are continuing their investigation and searching for other suspects involved in the attack.
