Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico - On Sunday, the Mexican Attorney General's Office (PGR) decided not to waive Edgar Jiménez Lugo, 14, aka, "El Ponchis" or " El Choky" as an adult. Lugo confessed to killing at least four victims by beating, cutting their throats ending in decapitations, while he was on drugs. He admitted to being a member of the South Pacific Cartel (SPC) since he was 11-years-old.
Lugo's gang of adolescents ages 12 to 23 had posted videos and images while armed with AK-47's. The videos showed the victims being beaten and killed by Lugo on social Internet networks.
Lugo will be prosecuted in a Morelos juvenile state court. If convicted, Lugo is facing a maximum sentence of three years in a juvenile detention facility, according to the PGR.
Last Thursday, Lugo and his sister, Elizabeth, 19, were arrested while trying to board a flight to Tijuana in Cuernavaca. Lina Éricka, 23, his older sister was arrested outside in a car. She had just dropped them off at the airport.
Military police found two handguns including a 9mm semi-automatic in their luggage. They also found small bags of cocaine and marijuana on Lugo, Two cell phones in possession of Lugo and Elizabeth had images of the tortured victims, according to the criminal complaint.
On Monday, both Elizabeth and Lina Éricka were ordered held for the next 30 days by the Federal Public Ministry to allow prosecutors to built their case against them. The PGR says, they are accused of kidnappings, organized crime and crimes against the public health.
Lugo and his sister Elizabeth were trying to board a flight on Thursday at the Mariano Matamoros Airport in Cuernavaca headed to Tijuana, when they were detained by members of the 24th Regional Mexican military. They were intending to cross into the U.S. to avoid prosecution by the mexican government after arriving in Tijuana. They had planned to stay and hide at their stepmother's residence. The stepmother had sent them money to leave Morelos, according to Lugo.
Lugo's mother, Yolanda Jiménez Lugo in San Diego was taken into custody on Monday after 8:00 p.m. by the U.S. Border Patrol. Yolanda confirmed she was undocumented and had been deported in 1997 and later returned to the U.S., according to the U.S. Border Patrol. Her husband, Gabriel Manuel Aguirre was arrested along with Yolanda. She has two children with Aguirre.
In 1997, Yolanda was convicted on one count for possession and intent to distribute cocaine. She served 90 days in jail and was given three years probation, but was deported, according to court records in San Diego County.
Lugo and Elizabeth were born in San Diego, California. Lina Éricka was born in Jiutepec, Mexico. Elizabeth told authorities that their parents still lived in San Diego. Lugo's U.S. Citizenship has been confirmed by the U.S. State Department and will be afforded assistance as required for any American arrested in a foreign country facing a criminal charge.
Several bodies hanging under a bridge were discovered more than two months ago under the Cuernavaca-Mexico bridge.
Lugo became the second most wanted killer in Mexico after posting videos of him executing his victims on the Internet.
Lugo evaded capture several times, once on October 29, when the military raided a home in Tejalpa and six members of the SPC were taken into custody. A teenager, Cristian Martinez, aka, "El Cris" also arrested told authorities that Lugo, aka, "El Ponchis" was the paid executioner for the SPC who was responsible for killing rival gang members.
On November 11, Lugo was almost arrested, but evaded arrest when the military was able to raid a home where Radilla's girlfriend was detained.
Lugo and his sisters resided in Tejalpa, within the municipality of Jiutepec. He worked under Jusús Radilla Hernández or Julio Jesús Padilla Hernández, aka, "El Negro," leader of the SPC who is a fugitive and is being sought by the Mexican government. One of Lugo's sister is expecting a child from El Negro.
