Reporting and context
Edgar, known as El General or El Lic, was among two people reported killed during a federal security operation in Naucalpan, State of Mexico, according to Ríodoce. Authorities cited by the outlet said federal personnel came under gunfire and returned fire. They identified Edgar as a suspected leader of Cártel Nuevo Imperio.
Ríodoce describes the operation as work to execute property search warrants at locations linked to suspected members of a criminal group. It lists personnel from the federal Security and Citizen Protection Ministry, Navy, the Attorney General’s Criminal Investigation Agency and the National Intelligence Center among those involved.
The outlet attributes allegations of kidnapping, extortion, homicide, money laundering and drug trafficking to the investigations. It also reports that Edgar was being investigated in connection with the July 2024 killing of security official Milton Morales Figueroa and had been sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury in November 2025. Those reported links are allegations and investigative claims, not findings of criminal guilt.
