juan mejía gonzález

juan reyes mejía gonzález , alias `` el r1 '' and `` el quique '' , is a mexican drug lord and high-ranking member in the gulf cartel who allegedly heads los rojos , a faction within the cartel .
mejía gonzález was often accredited as the `` second-in-command '' in the gulf organization .
he is responsible for controlling the flow of cocaine from central america and south america to the drug corridors between nuevo laredo and reynosa , tamaulipas .
on march 2008 , mejía gonzález was indicted in washington , d.c. and placed as one of the most-wanted fugitives by the u.s. government .
mejía gonzález is allegedly responsible for ordering the assassination of samuel flores borrego , a drug lord of the metros faction in the gulf cartel , on 2 september 2011 .
flores borrego 's assassination triggered a series of confrontations between the two factions in the mexican state of tamaulipas .
the metros faction emerged victorious in early 2012 , and mejía gonzález has fallen off the radar and has not been heard of since then .
