Reynier “Palma”, alleged CJNG member, detained for killing taxi driver in Acapulco
The Guerrero state prosecutor announced the detention of Reynier “N”, known as “Palma”, as a suspected member of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). Authorities linked him to the June 16 shooting that killed taxi driver Javier “N” on Avenida Costera Miguel Alemán in the tourist port of Acapulco. The operation was conducted jointly by the state prosecutor’s office, the Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional, the Guardia Nacional, the Secretaría de Seguridad y Protección Ciudadana, the Secretaría de Marina and the state police. After his arrest, Palma was presented before a control judge for further legal proceedings.
Governor Claudia Sheinbaum reiterated that Acapulco has recovered from the economic damage caused by Hurricane Otis, while warning that insecurity remains a major challenge in Guerrero, a state where around 20 drug cartels, including CJNG, operate. The United States classifies CJNG as a terrorist organization.
