As part of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's strategy to combat organized crime groups, Mexico's Navy and members of the Attorney General's Office made a new high-profile arrest: that of Omar Félix Loaiza, also known as "El Pelón" and "El 8."
Besides having deep ties with the Sinaloa Cartel, Loaiza is allegedly the leader of group known as "Los Pelones," an armed cell and enforcer gang that has remained loyal to "Los Chapitos" faction ever since they declared war to "La Mayiza" for control of the turf.
