Durango lived a day of high tension after Aureliano Guzmán Loera, alias “El Guano”, brother of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, managed to circumvent a Navy siege on Tuesday morning in the state capital, according to national media such as El Informador.

Surprise operation in San Jorge subdivision

The Secretariat of the Navy arrived at the San Jorge subdivision between 5:00 and 8:00 in the morning, with a wide deployment that controlled access and generated alarm among neighbors. Testimonies refer to temporary entrance and exit closures in several streets during the intervention.

Surrounded, but “he peeled”

According to media information, the investigations indicate that “El Guano” was hiding in a house in the area. The operation was mounted for his security; however, the target evaded the deployment and there was no official confirmation of related arrests.

Reward in force in the United States.

US authorities recently released a $10 million reward for information leading to the capture or conviction of Aureliano Guzmán Loera, according to ICE statements and publications reviewed by the media.

Context and background

“El Guano” is considered one of the leaders with the greatest capacity for evasion within organized crime. The action in San Jorge is part of recent federal operations in Durango and its metropolitan area, which have increased the presence of security forces and the perception of risk among residents.

So far no federal or state authority has given more details of the failed operation, but Sinaloa media have replicated the information assuring that days earlier, “El Guano” would also have escaped from another military operation in Tamazula, Durango.
