Day 791: Arrest Warrant Executed in Puebla Against 'El Dron' for Livestreamed Killing of Influencer César Gastélum
Ministerial agents of Sinaloa's Fiscalía, working with UNESA elements, executed a formal apprehension order in Puebla state on September 22, 2026, against Jesús Alberto 'N', 25, alias 'El Dron' — nearly seven weeks after he was first detained on August 30, 2026 on separate charges (attempted homicide, crimes against public officials, drug possession, and unauthorized possession of a military-grade firearm). Investigators from Sinaloa's Homicide Investigation Unit identify him as the primary suspect in the August 4, 2026 shooting death of TikTok influencer César Gastélum, who was killed while livestreaming in the parking lot of a KFC in Culiacán's Tres Ríos development. The order was carried out outside Sinaloa territory, in Puebla.
