On April 28, 2026, Mexican special forces apprehended Flores Silva in Nayarit, a key figure linked to the drug trade.

This operation follows the death of Nemesio 'El Mencho' Oseguera, who was killed in February during a confrontation with Mexican soldiers.

The capture underscores ongoing efforts by Mexican authorities to dismantle powerful drug cartels operating within the country.
