'El Gil' captured in Ensenada
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2009/dec/30/drug-traffick...
By Omar Millán González
December 30, 2009.
TIJUANA — A suspected lieutenant of drug-trafficking leader Teodoro “El Teo” García Simental was arrested Tuesday morning in Ensenada, Baja
California’s secretary of public safety said in a statement late Tuesday.
Daniel de la Rosa said the man, Gilberto El Gil Sánchez Guerrero, 29, commanded 10 criminal cells that carried out kidnappings, extortions and
executions across the region. He is believed to work for García, one of the reputed drug gang leaders fighting to control the lucrative border area.
Sánchez was arrested during an operation by state police about 7 a.m. in an apartment complex in colonia La Moderna in Ensenada.
The arrest will help solve a series of killings and kidnappings carried out by organized criminals, said Fermín Gómez, Baja California’s deputy
attorney general.
There were three arrest orders against Sánchez Guerrero, Gómez said, and he is linked to the killing and attempted killing of Tijuana police officers.
He is also being investigated in the attempted robbery of a cargo truck in which municipal officers were wounded trying to stop the robbers, Gómez
said.
De la Rosa said that Sánchez Guerrero was believed to be part of a group that in October tried to kill Tijuana’s secretary of public safety, Gen.
Julián Leyzaola.
The plot was uncovered during an operation by the Mexican military at a business in the city’s east side, where pickups were found that had been
altered to look like military vehicles.

Baja California police have arrested an alleged drug gang member who is suspected of killing and kidnapping people for a Tijuana drug trafficking
group.
Baja California's Preventive Police say Luis Gilberto Sánchez Guerrero managed more than 10 murder and kidnapping crews for a drug boss nicknamed "El
Teo".
Mexican authorities also say that Sánchez, or "El Gil," was once a Tijuana policeman. He apparently disappeared from the force in 2007.
Police allege "El Gil" participated in some of the more outlandish crimes in Tijuana during the last few years. They say he headed a group that
planned to assassinate Tijuana's police chief last October by infiltrating his security detail with trucks painted to look like military vehicles.
Authorities say two years ago "El Gil" used his Tijuana police vehicle as a getaway car to help a most wanted drug cartel killer escape from federal
police at a seafood restaurant.
State police say they arrested the 29-year-old "El Gil" in Ensenada.

I'm starting to feel schizophrenic over the drug war. every time I see something like this, I get euphoric. Then, the other shoe drops. In a perfect
world, this stuff wouldn't be happening, and life could go on peacefully. Sometimes I feel like the the authorities are pushing a boulder uphill. I
just want it to be like the old days. Viva Mexico!

As long as they keep him in prison where he belongs I would be happy.

of control drunk,, middle of the night, the management tried to get him under control, they even phoned the police, the police didnt do a thing,, we
had no choice we left in the middle of the night and found some place else to sleep, went back the next day and got my money refunded

Yeah 'Bass, I think that dude would be right on the long end of any list I might make of guys whose faces I might get into when they're drunk. Looks
like the turd was ready to get off a couple dozen fast rounds while taking incoming. A chesty gringo might hardly be worth his waste of ammunition.

It is always best to walk away. Took me several years, and several broken hands to figure that one out. The U.S.M.C. taught me I was a invulnerable
killing machine, they were wrong! I am now Mr. Mellow. He really does not look that mean, but you never know. I give troublemakers a wide berth.

I drive through Tijuana often and do not honk my horn at anyone and let drivers get in front of me. You just never know who is driving that other car.

As with many threads here, this one holds promise for some interesting social comment. I too was first initiated into manhood by the Marines. They
took a boy and turned him into someone who would kill whomever they told him to, or to die trying. In my lifetime of living in a country almost
constantly at war, I have never felt that I, or my family, or even my lifestyle was in danger from threats OUTSIDE the country. I remained a badass,
conflicted, trained killer for way too long. A couple years ago I was re-initiated into manhood by the ManKind Project. I now find myself willing,
and somewhat able, to seek understanding and offer compassion and forgiveness. This, in my judgment, is the proper way to stand as a man among men.
Right has nothing to do with might, and certainly nothing to do with one god being more horrifyingly fearsome than someone else's god. The human
animal CAN rise above that level of ignorance and barbarism. IMAGINE
Caution, this opinion may change in the next 8 seconds with the next report of a religious (or other drug) whacko with a gun or a bomb.

A salute Vagabundo, it takes a real man to realize force and violence are not the answer to anything, let alone everything! Reverse brain washing is a
long term, slow change of personality, and worth the trip!

I believe there are times when violence is the only solution. We know the cartels will not reason. They are professional animals. I would consider
their violence well calculated, and normally well executed. Always avoid confrontations, especially with unknowns in Baja. My 2 cents.
