Mexican police seized a Lamborghini and a Matamoros ambulance while hunting for the man allegedly behind the kidnapping of four U.S. citizens.
Mexican state investigators seized a Lamborghini, raided a cartel clinic, and even seized a Matamoros city ambulance as part of the hunt for the cartel boss alleged to be behind the fatal kidnapping of four U.S. citizens.
Agents with the Tamaulipas Attorney General’s Office carried out several raids in the border city of Matamoros during the hunt for Jose Alberto “La Kena” Garcia Vilano, the top local leader for the Gulf Cartel in the city. Garcia Vilano is believed to be ultimately responsible for the kidnapping of Latavia McGee, Shaeed Woodward, Zindell Brown, and Eric James Williams.
As part of the investigations into the kidnappings, Mexico’s government deployed more than 300 soldiers to Matamoros while FGJ agents targeted La Kena’s group forcing the drug lord into hiding. During the raids into the criminal organizations, authorities seized several vehicles, including a Lamborghini that had previously been reported stolen in Texas. Authorities also raided a clinic that was being used by the Gulf Cartel to treat their wounded gunmen.
The man known as La Kena or Ciclon 19, is labeled as a wanted fugitive in Tamaulipas with authorities offering a cash reward for information leading to his capture. In 2021, authorities linked him to numerous kidnappings and extortions in the city of Matamoros.exclusively, the Matamoros faction of the Gulf Cartel has seen a boom in growth and impunity since the arrival of current Tamaulipas Governor Americo Villarreal.
