A major Mexican drug trafficker, the Cartel Arellano Felix figure “El Apache” was shot by hitmen outside a Chili’s in the US city of Chula Vista, California.
This is the second time in the last two months that a Mexican cartel figure has managed to orchestrate a hit on a rival cartel member who was hiding out in a US city.
The Shooting Outside a Chili’s
At approximately 8:50 pm on Tuesday, March 26, a Mexican drug lord stumbled into a Chili’s restaurant in the US city of Chula Vista. He was bleeding, having just been shot in the parking lot outside.
Diners inside the Chili’s were alarmed and “several” called police saying that there was a “shooting outside of the Chili's on Paseo del Rey”.
The Chula Vista Police Department’s records show that one of the citizen calls to 911 came in at 8:52 pm.

Flaquito's Men Are Hiding Out in the US
As of Tuesday night, Apache was, evidently, hiding out across the border in the US city of Chula Vista, which lies just south of San Diego.
This, largely, tracks with what we’ve been hearing. In January 2024, a Mexican intelligence official was quoted by Zeta Tijuana as saying that “All those who are related to the criminal operations of Pablo Edwin Huerta Nuño 'El Flaquito', Héctor García 'El Kado' or James Brayan Corona 'El Apache', have a target on their backs.”
