Infobae México reports that Ángel Guerrero Carrillo, known as “Canguro,” was detained in Jalisco and identified by Mexican authorities as a logistics coordinator allegedly linked to synthetic-drug distribution in Washington state. The report says authorities seized a firearm, ammunition, methamphetamine, fentanyl tablets, cash and a phone during the operation.

Infobae México reports that Ángel Guerrero Carrillo, known as “Canguro,” was detained in Zapopan, Jalisco, in an operation involving Mexico’s Navy, the Attorney General’s Office and other security agencies. Infobae México says Mexican authorities identified Guerrero Carrillo as a logistics coordinator allegedly connected to the transport, distribution and sale of synthetic drugs in Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. According to the Mexican Security Cabinet, intelligence shared by Mexican and U.S. authorities, including naval intelligence, helped locate him.

Infobae México reports that authorities seized a Smith & Wesson revolver, six .38 Super cartridges, 50 doses of methamphetamine, 15 fentanyl tablets, 4,900 pesos in cash and a Samsung A15 phone during the detention. The report says the case was opened under file FGR/FEMDO/FEIDMS-SIN/0000654/2025. Infobae México also describes a broader network that U.S. agencies attribute to Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, known as “El Chapo Isidro,” with alleged distribution activity reaching at least nine U.S. states through separate logistics cells.

The FBI and the U.S. Treasury Department are cited as describing a structure in which different cells transport, store and sell narcotics under direction from Sinaloa. Infobae México further reports that Meza Flores faces formal U.S. accusations involving alleged drug-trafficking conspiracies and firearms, while noting that those accusations are not final court findings. The source also links other people and seizures to separate investigations and official allegations; those claims remain attributed to the agencies and the outlet reporting them.
