He is an ex-military man who revealed the location of the homes of soldiers families in Culiacán, helping the liberation of the Ovidio, son of ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán.

According to the information that accompanies the publication, “Pepe Sierra” is a deserter of  the Mexican Army , an institution where he worked for a long time and thanks to which he has a great knowledge in the use of firearms, as well as in tactics of combat .

Recently, citizen complaint pages accuse a man identified as a former military man named José Adolfo Medrano, alias ”Pepe Sierra” , of being chief of hitmen for Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar , alias ‘ El Chapito ‘, son of drug trafficker Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán , in addition to having revealed the location of the homes of some soldiers.

Various sources say that José Adolfo, “El Pepe” is currently in Culiacán and that his presence in the city is due to his chiefs put him in charge of locating the elements of the National Defense Secretariat  that arrested Ovid Guzmán last Thursday.

According to versions that circulated the day of what happened, but that have not been denied or confirmed by authorities, the order was to kill the relatives of the military elements in case no agreement was reached for the release of Ovidio.

They confirm that  José Adolfo Medrano is a deserter of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) and belonged to the  Third Battalion in Sinaloa , but after being discharged, he is now at the service of the Sinaloa Cartel, whose main center of operations is in Culiacán.

We can see in  images that circulate on the social network pages of  José Adolfo , he was proud to be a military, he constantly shared his snapshots with his teammates,  in which we can see him with his infantry uniform.

No one really knows why  José Adolfo  decided to leave the  Army  to join the ranks of the Sinaloa Cartel, but various rumors say that he would have been offered a large sum of money in exchange for his services.

This would not be the first time that a case like this has been released on social networks, because, unfortunately, there  are many stories we know about the military who, for one reason or another, decide to leave their uniform to join organized crime.

Around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday Oct 17, a date now etched in the memory of many,  a patrol consisting of 30 elements of the National Guard and the military carried out a patrol at the Tres Ríos subdivision, in the capital of Sinaloa, when they were attacked from a house.

The foregoing, he said, led several members of organized crime to surround the house “with a force greater than that of the patrol.”

An hour later Durazo confirmed to the Reuters news agency that  “they made the decision to leave the house without Guzman to try to avoid more violence in the area and preserve the lives of our staff and restore calm in the city.”

Meanwhile, in Culiacán shots were heard at night but this time they were bursts of gunfire  in the air, in celebration for the release of Ovidio Guzmán López.
