He is said to be responsible for several crimes in Tijuana in particular what occurred on March 9 at Sixth Street bar to a 25 year old. He is associated with the recent seizure of at least 84 kilos of "meth", where six criminals were arrested with six firearms, ammunition and radio equipment, from whom, at that time Marlon Lopez Fabela escaped.
"El Chapito" is a known drug trafficker and coodinated a group of narcomenudistas. El Chapito is thought to be responsible for several killings, among others, the one that occured on March 9 in a popular bar on the Sixth Street in this city, where Ismael Valle 25 was executed.
Early research suggests that "el Chapito" worked under the command of a subject nicknamed "Julian" who was responsible for ordering the attack on the bar on the 9 March "La Ruta de la six" located on Sixth Street, in downtown Tijuana.
Ismael Tapia Vallewas a young man who recently graduated from college. His family owned bar on Sixth Street in Tijuana. He was in the band "Instinto Animal" which regularly performed at the bar. Since January, Tapia Valle spent much time with his family, opening the bar on making it a presentable venue for local band to perform..
Authorities and relatives of Ismael Valle assume that it was a mistake that cost him his life.The state prosecutor's office said that the motive for the murderers was a fight between drug dealers.
El Chapito is also linked to the seizure of at least 84 kilos of Meth, recorded last weekend, where six people were arrested, with equal numbers of weapons and almost 160 rounds of various calibers, and radio equipment.

El Chapito, and the six arrested last weekend declared that they "operate "for an individual identified only as "Atlantis" or "Atlante," who by some accounts, has a prominent role in the drug trafficking business that is recorded here.
