Eduardo Arellano Felix
The city of Tijuana, situated at the border with the U.S., witnessed yet another drug related shooting, yesterday. This time, the parties involved were the Mexican federal police and a group of drug dealers lead by Eduardo Arellano Félix, also known as ‘The Doctor’.
Arellano Felix, one of the most powerful traffickers of the Tijuana drug cartel, has been taken into custody by the police forces. He is believed to be one of the most violent dealers in the region and responsible of the deaths of dozens of people.
The drug dealer resisted arrest and shot at the police forces with an AK-47 for several minutes; when he ran out of ammunition, he was apprehended and declared his name was Samuel Bracamontes. The authorities identified him after the burn marks on his chest and both arms.
Eduardo Arellano Felix is accused of various charges related to drug trafficking, and organized crime. A warrant for his arrest had been issued by a Federal Court in California, and the Interpol had been searching for him in over 180 countries ever since 2004.
Consequently to Eduardo’s arrest, the drug band is now under the command of his sister and nephew Enedina Arellano Félix and Fernando Sánchez Arellano.
