EXCLUSIVE: Mexican military kills gang leader 'El Neto' in shoot-out following escape from prison
Los Mexicles gang leader Ernesto Alfredo Pinon, or “El Neto,” died late Wednesday after a run-in with Mexican authorities on his fourth day at-large in Ciudad Juarez, according to two federal law enforcement officials in El Paso who spoke with the Washington Examiner Thursday.“They took him into custody injured. [Piñón] didn’t 'make it' to the hospital,” one official wrote in a text message.
The escape and killing come three days before President Joe Biden is slated to visit El Paso on Sunday. El Paso sits directly on the U.S.-Mexico border next to Ciudad Juarez, a city of 2 million people and one of the most dangerous places in the world because of the heavy presence of competing cartels.
