Edgar Aarón “N”, leader of Nuevo Imperio Cartel, killed in Mexico operation
Edgar Aarón Vázquez Alvarado, known as “El General” or “El Lic”, was killed during a security operation in the State of Mexico. Federal agents from the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) were attacked with gunfire while attempting to serve an arrest warrant for organized crime. The target and an associate died when agents repelled the aggression.
Vázquez Alvarado was identified as the founder and leader of the Nuevo Imperio Cartel, an organization with operations in the State of Mexico, Mexico City, and Morelos. The group is allegedly involved in kidnapping, extortion, homicide, fuel theft, money laundering, and drug trafficking to the United States and Canada.
Authorities linked the deceased to several high-profile crimes, including being the alleged intellectual author of the July 21, 2024, murder of Milton Morales Figueroa, a security official in Mexico City. Additionally, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned him on November 19, 2025, for allegedly providing protection to Ryan James Wedding and using police contacts to locate strategic targets.
