San Juan, Puerto Rico - On Saturday, the National LULAC 93rd Convention elections in Puerto Rico have been suspended due to a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) granted on Friday, July 29, 2022 in Dallas County, 162nd Judiciary District Court to five plaintiffs, Hilda Ramirez Duarte, Rene Martinez, Henry Rodriguez, Federico Garza and Hector Carrillo. The plaintiffs claimed that that the national LULAC elections have and continue to engage in fraudulent  and ilicit scheme to place under irreversible control of a foreign political power in violation of LULAC's internal governing rules. (TRO 5-page link at: https://bit.ly/3Sqdm8n)

On Friday, Domingo García, President of the National LULAC released the following statement to its full membership in the U.S. and to theLULAC 93rd  Convention attendees in Puerto Rico, "LULAC was served tonight with a temporary restraining order (TRO) that enjoins or prevents us from having a national election in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Saturday, July 30, 2022. The members of the national board are named as defendants in the matter, and as such, any actions by them or anyone else that violates the TRO can and will have serious consequences up to and including monetary fines and jail time."

"In light of this legal action, I am informing you that the national assembly meeting scheduled for Saturday, July 30, 2022, is in recess until the matter has been heard in court, as mandated by the TRO. You are advised not to go to the assembly hall as no lawful meeting is allowed. Please continue your visit and other travel plans while in San Juan, and I will keep you informed on the next steps in this matter."

García on Saturday at the National LULAC Convention and Exposition in Puerto Rico released the following statement about an alleged hostile takeover by a foreign political party aligned with the GOP: https://lulac.org/news/pr/LULAC_Fights_Corrupt_Attempt_At_Hostile_Takeover/ 

The National LULAC elections TRO injunction hearing is scheduled for August 12, 2022 at the Dallas County 162nd Judiciary District Court in Texas. 

In brief: The National LULAC organization has not held official elections to elect a president in two unusual occasions in its 93 years in existence, that was in New York in 2014, and this year (2022) in Puerto Rico due to internal controversial political issues. Only a majority of National LULAC presidents from Texas have been elected in its history, which definitely shows an internal political bias for Texas LULAC members to stay in control of the National organization.

In 2014, a majority of registered LULAC voting delegates at the New York 85th National Convention in July elected Magdalena "Maggie" Rivera from Illinois as the new National LULAC president. After Margaret Moran, National LULAC president and her appointed Election Judge postponed the elections at the annual National LULAC 85th Convention in New, York. Moran's term ended on July 12, 2014, but was extended another year due to the election debacle in New York. She was first elected as president on July 17, 2012 at the Albuquerque, New Mexico National LULAC Convention.

The General Assembly elections were postponed by Election Judge Luis Roberto Vera Jr. after a TRO was filed on Friday, July 11, 2014 and then provided to LULAC executives just before the elections the next day. The TRO by a New York court prevented Moran and Vera Jr. from using certain rules in an attempt to influence the election in favor of a candidate from Laredo, Texas, Roger C. Rocha Jr. who they were supporting. No National LULAC president from any other state has been elected to the position in decades other than from Texas. Rivera from Illinois became the first Latina woman elected National LULAC president that broke the 85-year control of the National LULAC presidency by Mexican-Americans from Texas. But, Rivera was never recognized as National LULAC president and Moran was extended an illegal out-term as president and then Rocha Jr. was elected in the next National LULAC Convention in 2015, in Salt Lake City, Utah and served until 2018.

García, the current National LULAC president was elected in 2018 during the National LULAC 89th Convention in Phoenix, Arizona. The National LULAC organization did not have an annual convention and exposition events to hold elections for 2019, 2020 and 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Editor's note: Haven't anyone noticed that in its 93 years of existence, only a majority of LULAC members from Texas have been elected to the National LULAC president position. It has become obvious.

LULAC has a reputation for fighting for equal rights to vote in the nation, except in their own organization, which it has become evident today that if a LULAC member from another state other than Texas becomes a candidate for National LULAC  president, he or she will not succeed. 

It's time, National LULAC changes its  election rules and voting regulations to allow LULAC members to elect a president of their choice whether from Texas or not.

Non-Texans who were previously elected National LULAC presidents in its 93 years of history serving Latinos, according to the National LULAC website history:

• Filemon Martinez, originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico became the first non-Texan to be elected as the 10th President in 1938 during the El Paso, Texas Convention

• Antonio M. Fernández from New Mexico became the 12th National LULAC President in 1940

• George I. Sánchez, originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico became the 13th President of National LULAC in 1941

• Ben Osuna, originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico elected as the 14th National LULAC President at the 1942 National LULAC Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico

• José Maldonado from Santa Fe, New Mexico became the 18th National LULAC president in 1947

• Hector Godinez from San Diego, California became the 26th National LULAC President in 1960

• Pete Vazquez Villa from California became the 34th National LULAC President in 1971

• Eduardo Morga originally from Los Angeles, California became the 37th National LULAC President in 1977

• José Vélez originally from Managua, Nicaragua residing in Las Vegas, Nevada became the 44th National LULAC President in 1990

Final note: In the last 32 years, non-Texans haven't been successful in getting elected as National LULAC presidents, according to the LULAC historic data on its website.

Facebook No Deshabilita Las Páginas Fraudulentas Que Ofrecen Licencias De Conducir Falsas Por $1,500 Sin Exámenes De Manejo Para Los Indocumentados En Los EE. UU.

Facebook parece estar permitiendo a los estafadores potenciales que publican en las páginas de las redes sociales que ofrecen licencias falsas de conducir para los indocumentados de cualquier estado, incluido Wisconsin, por $1,500 o más.

Wisconsin, EE. UU. - Desafortunadamente, los estafadores se dirigen a los indocumentados en los EE. UU. a través de la red social llamada Facebook (FB) sin ser controlados por los estándares de la comunidad. Los estafadores publicaron páginas de FB en español dirigidas a los indocumentados, donde los estafadores ofrecen a los indocumentados licencias de conducir falsas por correo enviado a cualquier estado de los EE. UU. por un costo de $1,500 dólares o más.

Los estafadores de FB también dicen en sus publicaciones publicitarias que los indocumentados no necesitan tomar un examen de manejo para obtener una licencia falsa de ningún estado, incluido Wisconsin, cuales estos estafadores dicen que son válidas.

Wisconsin no permite que los conductores indocumentados soliciten licencias o permisos de conducir, excepto si el indocumentado es un beneficiario de DACA registrado a nivel federal y tiene un estatus legal temporal para permanecer en el país.

La legislatura del estado de Wisconsin, anticipándose a la Ley REAL ID en 2005, aprobó una ley estatal en marzo de 2006 titulada Ley 126. La ley fue promulgada inmediatamente por el gobernador James "Jim" Doyle (D) para asegurar la financiación federal de infraestructura para reparar carreteras, La Ley 126 prohíbe que los inmigrantes indocumentados y las personas que no tienen un número de seguro social obtengan una licencia de conducir o una identificación en Wisconsin.

Los siguientes estados bajo las leyes estatales que han sido aprobados para que los indocumentados soliciten licencias de conducir son California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawái, Illinois, Maryland, Nuevo México, Nevada, Massachusetts Nueva York, Nueva Jersey, Oregón, Utah, Vermont , Virginia y Washington. Para obtener información sobre cómo solicitar una licencia de conducir, comuníquese con la agencia estatal correspondiente que expide licencias de conducir.

Pero, aquellos indocumentados que solicitan una licencia de conducir deben presentarse en la agencia estatal de licencias de conducir para tomar una prueba escrita de reglas de tránsito y señales de tránsito, una prueba de manejo y una prueba de la vista.

Si alguien le ofrece a una persona indocumentada una licencia de conducir por $1,500 o más sin tomar ningún examen de manejo y etc., es una estafa (falsa).

En Wisconsin, la tarifa para una licencia de conducir válida regular Clase D original es de $34.00 dólares por 8 años.

Facebook no tiene nada de vergüenza por permitir que estafadores sin escrúpulos se aprovechen de la población indocumentada en su propia red social META.

Facebook Not Disabling Scam Pages Offering Fake Driver Licenses For $1,500 Without Driving Tests For The Undocumented In The U.S.

Facebook seems to be allowing potential scammers who post in the social media pages that they offer driver licenses for the undocumented from any state including Wisconsin for $1,500 or more.

Wisconsin, U.S.A. - Unfortunately, scammers are targeting the undocumented in the U.S.A. through the social network called Facebook (FB) without being policed by its community standards. The scammers posted FB pages in Spanish geared for the undocumented, which the scammers offer the undocumented fake driver licenses via mail from any state in the U.S.A. for a cost of $1,500 or more. 

The FB scammers also say in their advertising posts that the undocumented don't need to take a driving test to get a fake license from any state including Wisconsin.

Wisconsin doesn't allow undocumented drivers to apply for driver licenses or permits, except if the undocumented is a federal registered DACA recipient and has temporary legal status to remain in the country.

The Wisconsin State legislature in anticipation of the REAL ID Act in 2005, passed a state law in March 2006 entitled Act 126. The Act was signed immediately into law by Governor James "Jim" Doyle (D) to secure infrastructure federal funding to fix state highways. The Act 126 bans undocumented immigrants and persons who do not have a social security number from obtaining a driver's license or identification in Wisconsin.

The following states under state laws that have been approved for the undocumented to apply for driver licenses are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada, Massachusetts New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. For information on how to apply for a driver's license, contact the corresponding state agency that issues driver licenses.

But, those undocumented applying for a driver's license must appear at the state driver license agency to take a written road rule and traffic sign test, driving test and an eye test.

If anyone offers an undocumented individual a driver license for $1,500 or more without taking any driving tests and etc., it is a scam (fake).

In Wisconsin, the fee for an orginal Class D regular valid driver license is $34.00 for 8 years.

Shame on Facebook for allowing unscrupulous scammers to prey on the undocumented population in their own social META network.

Marshal Public Safety Director Enoch Wilson Was An Agressor Who Allegedly Had No Grounds To Claim Self-defense For The Murder Of Luis Lorenzo At El Rey

The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office decided not to criminally charge Wilson for fatally shooting Lorenzo at the El Rey Supermarket on July 9. The Luis Lorenzo family attorney says that the D.A.'s office including police did an inadequate investigation in the Lorenzo homicide case.

July 21, 2022

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office (D.A.) decided not to criminally charge Enoch Wilson, 43, the Director of the Marshal Public Safety company for fatally shooting Luis Lorenzo, 36, at the El Rey Supermarket on July 9. 2022. According to the D.A.'s office, it confirmed that Lorenzo never committed any crime nor did he intended to do so while inside El Rey. The D.A. also confirmed that Marshal Public Safety Officer Anthony James Nolden, 59, had refused to let Lorenzo go inside the El Rey with a backpack. Lorenzo refused to leave his backpack at the front El Rey Supermarket customer service counter.

Lorenzo never brandished a firearm or indicated he had a weapon. The only thing that Lorenzo did according to the D.A.'s office determination was that he made a gesture at Nolden, but didn't touch him and then fled from the El Rey store into the far Southeast parking lot where Wilson who Nolden had called for backup tackled Lorenzo to the ground after Nolden had pepper sprayed Lorenzo in the face. 

While Lorenzo was being physically assaulted on the ground by both Wilson and Nolden. They were both illegally carrying firearms while working as private security at El Rey because Wilson's firearm license expired on June 28, 2022 and Nolden's firearm license had expired on March 10, 2022, according to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) website.

Attorney William Sulton who represents the Luis Lorenzo family during a press conference said that, the Lorenzo family are upset how the family has been treated as crime victims, there has been no outreach by the D.A.'s office nor has any documents including videos from the El Rey has been released to them to review before the D.A.'s office decided to released their determination not to charge Wilson with Lorenzo's homicide. The information released by the D.A.'s office shows Mr. Lorenzo was murdered and that is outrageous, the D.A.'s office information that publicly released shows, Mr. Lorenzo didn't steal anything from El Rey food market, he didn't threaten anybody, that Mr. Lorenzo didn't get into a fist fight with anybody, in fact the opposite is true, that he was sprayed in the face and was blinded, that he exited the building and yet he was being pursued out of the building by larger man who takes him to the ground and there's a second much larger man attacking him...they were going to stop Mr. Lorenzo and that's what was going to happen and he tried to save himself and that had tragic consequences for Mr. Nolden and that's a tragedy, but that doesn't justify the shooting death of Mr. Lorenzo in any shape or form...the D.A.'s office and police didn't do the background investigation that would show both Wilson and Nolden were illegally carrying firearms because their firearm endorsement in their permits had elapsed while working at El Rey. Also, according to the DSPS regulations, El Rey had no sustancial need to have armed private security guards at the store, since there is no history of customer violent interactions that would require armed security and there is no private security company that would tell their employees to exit the building they are supposedly to protect or tell them to go out and tackle somebody to the ground, these are not police officers and the D.A.'s office confirmed, that Mr. Lorenzo did not commit a crime in that store...Mr. Wilson and Mr. Nolden were the aggressors, not Mr. Lorenzo, so it's not self-defense and you can't predict the circumstances for your own defense, which is exactly what they did. According to what the D.A.'s office says, Lorenzo was acting in self-defense, Sulton indicated during the press conference. 

"What's troubling about this case, is that some how, if you have been convicted of a crime in this state, some how you are outside of the protections of the law and that is just wrong," Sulton said.

The lack of the D.A.'s office to release any information to the Lorenzo family is indicative of an inadequate investigation, according to Sulton.

Sulton says, he intends get all the information and videos available in the Lorenzo case whether the D.A.'s office decides to release it or by filing a subpoena.

Enoch Wilson, Who Tackled Luis Lorenzo To The Ground At El Rey Parking Lot And Then Killed Him After Shooting Anthony James Nolden Won't Get Charged, Milwaukee County D.A. Says

The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office says that Wilson won't face criminal charges for fatally shooting Lorenzo at the El Rey Supermarket parking lot over what ignited the whole confrontation and altercation, the El Rey in-store rule of no large bags or backpacks allowed inside the store.

July 20, 2022

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office decided that Enoch Wilson, 43, the Director of the Marshal Public Safety (MPS) company who on July 9, 2022, he and MPS Officer Anthony James Nolden, 59, had expired firearm licenses at the time they pursued Luis Lorenzo, 36, into the El Rey Supermarket parking lot after he ran away from them and the tragic triple shooting occurred.

The Lorenzo family hired an attorney to pursue legal relief for the family who, since the death of Lorenzo have been seeking justice and holding protests at El Rey chanting "El Rey Cover-up, Justice for Pito".

Attorney William Sulton, who represents the Lorenzo family discovered that both Wilson and Lorenzo were working at El Rey Supermarket with expired firearm licenses and that El Rey is also responsible (liable) for what happened at the parking lot.

Attorney Sulton during a press conference by El Rey last Sunday stated, "Mr. Nolden and other private security personnel that work at El Rey do not have licenses to carry firearms while acting as private security and that is a crime in our state and chargeable to the supervisor here at El Rey...that is something that MPD has ignored and we intend to ask them why is that the case...Right now certainly we have enough information to pursue a case against both El Rey's and the private security firms based on the fact that they hired folks and allowed them to work unlawfully carrying firearms." Nolden's license to carry a firearm as a private security guard expired on March 10, 2022 and Wilson's license to carry a firearm expired on June 28, 2022, according to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services website.

Sulton says that the MPD hasn't made any referrals the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office to criminally charge MPS company for illegal carrying of firearms as a private security company and El Rey for hiring and allowing armed security guards to illegally carry firearms at the grocery store who are not trained or licensed to carry firearms while acting as security guards.

The D.A.'s Office confirmed that Lorenzo had ran out of the El Rey after making a gesture to Nolden after Nolden attempted to enforce an in-store rule of no large bags and backpacks allowed inside, which Lorenzo refused to leave his backpack at the front customer service counter. Nolden called Wilson for backup instead of calling police.

It hasn't been determined yet, if either Wilson or Nolden ever called police before chasing after Lorenzo into the parking lot.

Both Wilson and Nolden pursued Lorenzo as he fled from the store into the parking lot. Wilson tackled Lorenzo to the ground after Nolden attempted to pepper spray Lorenzo as he fled. Lorenzo most likely felt that his life was threatened and took out a handgun from his backpack and fatally shot Nolden and then Wilson fatally shot Lorenzo.

A 41-year-old woman was grazed by gunfire in the parking lot, but it hasn't been determined, if Wilson or Lorenzo's gunfire striked her.

Wilson as Nolden and Lorenzo do have a right for self-defense. In this tragic case, Wilson was the sole survivor.

Now. Wilson and El Rey will most likely face a wrongful death lawsuit and possibly a federal case as well to determined, if both Wilson and Nolden violated Lorenzo's Civil Rights.

The Lorenzo family will now push for Wilson and El Rey to be criminally charged for the expired firearm license violation while working as private security. Now we do know, the only reason both Wilson and Nolden pursued Lorenzo was because he made a gesture to Nolden who reacted to it and they went after Lorenzo ending in the tragic death of both Nolden and Wilson including a 41-year-old unidentified woman being grazed by gunfire in the parking lot.

The 41-year-old woman can most likely filed a lawsuit against both El Rey and the Marshal Public Safety company because El Rey has a no weapons allowed sign on its entrance door. Under the Conceal Carry Weapon (CCW) Wisconsin law, El Rey is liable over a shooting that occurs in the property. If El Rey wouldn't have place a no weapons allowed at the store, El Rey would have been protected against any liability under the CCW law, if a shooting occurred in their property.

Marshal Public Safety Officers Are Not Licensed Under Wisconsin State Law To Carry Weapons, William Sulton, Attorney For The Lorenzo Family Says

El Rey Supermarket on South W. César E. Chávez Drive in Milwaukee is responsible for hiring a security company whose armed guards are not licensed to carry in Wisconsin, Attorney Sulton claimed at a press conference on Sunday.

By H. Nelson Goodson 

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

July 17, 2022

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Sunday, William Sulton, the attorney for the Lorenzo family claimed that according to state business records, the Marshal Public Safety (MPS) officers are not licensed to carry weapons at businesses they provide security. Also, Attorney Sulton said that El Rey Supermarket is liable for hiring a security company whose guards or officers are not licensed to carry weapons.

The Lorenzo family is pursuing legal action against both El Rey and the Marshal Public Safety company.

Sulton confirmed that the Milwaukee police investigators have not addressed or cited the officers of the MPS company for carrying weapons when they are not trained and licensed to carry weapons.

Attorney Sulton stated, "Mr. Nolden and other private security personnel that work at El Rey do not have licenses to carry firearms while acting as private security and that is a crime in our state and chargeable to the supervisor here at El Rey...that is something that MPD has ignored and we intend to ask them why is that the case...Right now certainly we have enough information to pursue a case against both El Rey’s and the private security firms based on the fact that they hired folks and allowed them to work unlawfully carrying firearms." Nolden's license to carry a firearm as a private security guard expired on March 10, 2022 and Wilson's license to carry a firearm expired on June 28, 2022, according to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services website.

Sulton says that the MPD hasn't made any referrals the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office to criminally charge MPS company for illegal carrying of firearms as a private security company and El Rey for hiring and allowing armed security guards to illegally carry firearms at the grocery store who are not trained or licensed to carry firearms while acting as security guards.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) went to ask police who were stationed at the El Rey parking lot, why haven't the MPS officers been cited for being unlicensed to carry weapons? One Milwaukee police officer said that Wisconsin is an open carry state and anyone can carry a weapon openly. I guess this police officer doesn't want to enforce state law. The second Milwaukee police officer said, that they weren't going to get involved in that matter and that it should be resolved in a court.

Attorney Sulton says, that the problem with the Milwaukee Police Department today, is that they only enforce laws that they want to enforce. Sulton added that he will pursue the matter in an upcoming lawsuit against El Rey and the MPS company.

On Friday, July 9, 2022, Luis Lorenzo, 36, was killed by Enoch Wilson, 43, the Director of the Marshal Public Safety company in the parking lot of El Rey, MPS Officer Anthony James Nolden, 59, was allegedly shot by Lorenzo and died at the scene.

The whole deadly incident was ignited over El Rey Supermarket in-store policy that prohibits their clientele from carrying backpacks and large bags inside the store. Lorenzo refused to leave his backpack at the front of El Rey customer service counter. Lorenzo left El Rey store and Nolden including Wilson pursued him to the end of the parking lot at the Southeast side near a public sidewalk where the deadly incident occurred.

Both Nolden and Wilson followed Lorenzo outside the store and allegedly assaulted Lorenzo who took out a weapon from his waistband band and fired shots allegedly striking Nolden and then Wilson in return killed Lorenzo.

Attorney Sulton says that the deaths of Nolden and Lorenzo could have been avoided, if the security guards weren't armed to begin with.

It seems, that neither Nolden or Wilson called police before Lorenzo exited the El Rey Supermarket.

The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office (D.A.) has not decided yet to charge Wilson in the case nor has the D.A. determined that Wilson was justified in killing Lorenzo.

Update: Attorney William Sulton released the following statement to Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) on Monday, July 18, 2022 in regards to firearms use by private security, I will add that Fox6's reporting is inaccurate and misleading.  

Wis. Admin. Code s. SPS 34.01 governs when private security persons may carry firearms. The law generally prohibits private security persons from possessing firearms while working as private security. SPS 34.01(1) states that "[n]o . . . employee of an agency may carry any firearm unless" several conditions are met. Two of the required conditions are SPS 34.01(a) and (b), which obligate that "[t]he circumstances or conditions of the . . . employee's assignment as a private security person give rise to a substantial need for being armed" and that "[t]he client and the agency agree in writing that the agency will assign armed security personnel to the client." As I explained at yesterday's press conference, El Rey's and Marshal Public Safety's owners had to first decide that there was a "substantial" need for armed private security at a grocery store with no history of violent interactions with customers requiring armed intervention. Our point is that there was not, we doubt they performed the required analysis, and publicly available information suggests that did not follow the law. The public should not be told that any person with a CCW permit can automatically carry a firearm by working for a private security firm. Many private security firms hire folks as independent contractors. The belief that they can carry firearms under any situation is dangerous and will lead to more deaths.

Editor's note:

It seems that El Rey Supermarket and the Marshal Public Safety company insurance might not cover a wrongful death lawsuit, since El Rey had MPS officers with expired firearm permits at the store when the tragic deadly incident occurred. Might turnout to be a costly liability for both El Rey and MPS company.

Guadalajara Drug Cartel Co-founder Rafael Caro-Quintero Arrested In Sinaloa, U.S. Seeks Extradition To Face A Homicide Charge For DEA Agent Camarena's Death In 1985

Mexican feds arrested the former Guadalajara Cartel leader involved with a DEA agent's torture and homicide in 1985. The U.S. is seeking a quick extradition for Caro-Quintero who lost his last appeal in Mexico to avoid extradition.

July 16, 2022

Sinaloa, Mexico - On Friday,  Rafael Caro-Quintero, 69, the former Guadalajara drug cartel leader who walked out of prison in 2013 over an appeal decision was arrested in the State of Sinaloa, Mexico. Caro-Quintero was hiding in the mountain range bush near the Town of San Simón in the municipality of Chiox in the State of Sinaloa when a government military police K-9 dog named Max led federal authorities to the wanted fugitive around midday, according to the Mexico's Attorney General's Office. Caro-Quintero was given water and then he conversed with his captors.

The joint operation between military Navy police from the Secretary of the Navy and Mexico's Attorney General's Office successfully led to the capture of Caro-Quintero.

Caro-Quintero was taken to the Altiplano maximum Mexican federal prison to await quick extradition to the U.S.. During the operation to capture Caro-Quintero, 14 Mexican Naval Marines died after their Blackhawk helicopter accidentally crashed, only one survivor was reported.

Caro-Quintero spent 28 years in prison of a 40 year sentence in connection with the February 1985 kidnapping, torture and murder of both DEA Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena Salazar and his pilot Alfredo Zavala Avela, a Mexican national. 

Caro-Quintero and several other suspects in 1985 ordered Camarena killed after their $10 billion dollar marijuana and drug manufacturing ranch called the Buffalo was raided and confiscated by Mexican federal authorities. Camarena and his pilot were kidnapped in Guadalajara and then their bodies were discovered in a shallow grave a month later. Both Camarena and his pilot's bodies showed signs of torture before being killed. 

A $20,000,000 reward was offered for Caro-Quintero by the U.S. government for any information leading to the arrested and conviction of Caro-Quintero. He was on Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) 10 most wanted list.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland released the following statement Friday on the capture of Rafael Caro-Quintero, one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. Caro-Quintero was wanted for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena in 1985.  

"There is no hiding place for anyone who kidnaps, tortures, and murders American law enforcement. We are deeply grateful to Mexican authorities for their capture and arrest of Rafael Caro-Quintero. Today's arrest is the culmination of tireless work by DEA and their Mexican partners to bring Caro-Quintero to justice for his alleged crimes, including the torture and execution of DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena. We will be seeking his immediate extradition to the United States so he can be tried for these crimes in the very justice system Special Agent Camarena died defending.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Lydia Nini Carmona-Cartagena, 23, was sentenced to 26 years in prison and 14 years of extended supervision for 1st-degree reckless homicide for the December 9, 2021 homicide of Chad Sean Alexander Wilson, 41, at the 4800 block of N. 60 Street, according to the Milwaukee police criminal complaint.  Carmona-Cartagena pleaded guilty in May 2022 under a plea agreement and her previous charge of 1st-degree intentional homicide was reduced to 1st-degree reckless homicide.

According to the criminal, Wilson was stabbed multiple times in the stomach and legs before Carmona-Cartagena used his vehicle (2011 Cadillac SUV) to run over him multiple times until he died.

Police say that a nearby church outdoor surveillance camera captured the deadly incident. A witness also stated that the suspect ran over Wilson's neck and head with the vehicle.

Carmona-Cartagena told police that she had met Wilson through Facebook a couple of weeks before they actually met. During the day, both Wilson and Carmona-Cartagena had some drinks and did drugs to the point where Wilson and the suspect got into a dispute in the vehicle. Wilson stopped the vehicle and told her to get out of the vehicle near W. Stark Street. 

Carmona-Cartagena got out with a bundle of clothes and decided to take out a knife and stab Wilson in the stomach and legs. She then went into Wilson's vehicle and fatally ran him over multiple times while he was on the ground injured with stab wounds. 

She left the scene and later returned to check, if Wilson was dead. A witness later identified her as the suspect who repeatedly ran over Wilson.

Police say that Carmona-Cartagena had a choice to leave, but she decided to run over Wilson because she suspected that he was a gang member and would later retaliate against her, so she killed him.

Several Black Males Were Not Allowed To Seat At The Outdoor César E. Chávez Placita By Marshal Public Safety Officers At El Rey Supermarket In The Southside Of Milwaukee

Two unidentified Marshal Public Safety officers were caught on video telling several Black males to leave private property at El Rey Supermarket in the Southside of Milwaukee.

July 12, 2022

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, two unidentified Marshal Public Safety officers were video recorded telling several Black males to leave the El Rey Supermarket property. The Black males happened to be seating and relaxing at the outdoor César E. Chávez Placita (Plaza) while other friends were shopping at El Rey.

The outdoor Chávez Placita where the life-size bronze statue of the late United Farm Workers Union leader César E. Chávez is stationed and considered open to the public eventhough it's located in private property. The incident on Tuesday is the first ever confirmed situation where Blacks weren't welcomed to enjoy a relaxing moment at the Chávez Placita. If people are going to be continued to be banned or told to leave private property, especially from the El Rey Placita by the current security company, then the Placita should be moved to another location in the community and public setting so people who want to enjoy the Placita won't face alleged discrimination or told to leave private property. No sign has been posted by El Rey management at the Chávez Placita to indicate, the Placita is currently closed.

The video recorded at the Chávez Placita happened to capture the incident and one of the Black males tells Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) what actually happened.

This is the third incident involving officers from the MPS company.

The first incident happened on Saturday, July 9, 2022, where two men got killed at the El Rey Supermarket parking lot. Both Luis Lorenzo, 36, and MPS Officer Anthony James Nolden, 59, lost their lives over an enforcement of no backpacks or large bags allowed inside El Rey. Two MPS officers followed Lorenzo outside of El Rey when he refused to leave his backpack at the front customer service desk and then exited the store. A scuffle between MPS Officer Nolden, Enoch Wilson, the Director of MPS company and Lorenzo resulted in the alleged shooting incident where Lorenzo is believed to have pull out a handgun from his waistband and fire shots fatally striking Nolden and then Wilson returned fire fatally striking Lorenzo.

The second incident on July 10, 2022, MPS officers aggressively threw Ivory Suttle, the cousin of Lorenzo to the ground and handcuffed him for allegedly taking photos and being on private property after a public vigil was held for fallen MPS Officer Nolden. Suttle did not take any photos while inside El Rey property, which there are no posted signs prohibiting anyone from taking photos of any kind at the private property.

It seems that the MPS officers at El Rey have definitely become a liability for El Rey. Have El Rey owners and the management at the store become aware of what these security guards are actually doing in their property and are they condoning it? If the El Rey management is business smart, they should part themselves from the MPS company to avoid any future liability and get a more public relations security company to do a better job for public safety.

Were The Tragic Deaths At El Rey Supermarket The Result Of Execessive Use Of Force By Marshal Public Safety Officers Attempting To Enforce Store Rule Of No Large Bags Allowed Inside?

According to the mainstream media reports, the Milwaukee Police Department has submitted their final triple shooting investigation report at El Rey Supermarket over the weekend to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office to determine, if charges will be filed against Enoch Wilson, the Director of Marshal Public Safety, a private security company.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Enoch Wilson, 43, is the Director of Marshal Public Safety (MPS), a private security company who fatally shot Luis J. Lorenzo, 36, aka. "Pito" during an altercation at the El Rey Supermarket parking lot, 916 S. César E. Chávez Drive in the Southside of Milwaukee. Apparently, Wilson and MPS Officer Anthony "Tony" James Nolden, 59, who also lost his life were attempting to enforce El Rey's in house rule that their clientele is prohibited from entering the supermarket with large bags or backpacks.

Rumors spread quickly after Dan O'Donnell, a Trump supporter and a conservative WISN radio talk host tweeted that Lorenzo was allegedly stealing from El Rey, according to his sources, which turned out to be untrue and has since deleted the tweet, and also an unrelated social media post to O'Donnell with the assumption that Nolden gave his life to "save so many people" and was being hailed as a hero for possibly attempting to stop a mass shooting at the popular grocery store, which has yet to be confirmed. 

In reality, why did both Wilson and Nolden decided to follow Lorenzo into the parking when he had already left El Rey? Did both Wilson and Nolden use excessive force prompting Lorenzo to feel threatened of losing his life and taking out a handgun from his waistband and firing the fatal shots allegedly striking Nolden and then for Wilson to fatally shoot Lorenzo in return, simply over the initial enforcement of a in house rule that prohibited Lorenzo from carrying his backpack with $2,000 in cash inside the store.

It seems that the MPS officers simply failed to de escalate the situation and resulted in two deaths affecting multiple families and love ones including leaving children without a father.

One of Lorenzo's sister posted on her Facebook account that both Wilson and Nolden forced Lorenzo out of El Rey Supermarket and then shuffled with him in the far end of the parking lot resulting in the death of both shooting victims and a 41-year-old unidentified woman being crazed by gunfire as a result of possibly using excessive force by the MPS officers including exceeding their authority allowed by state law, which limits their authority to assault and restraint individuals,  especially while enforcing an in house rule of prohibiting large bags inside the store.

So far, Wilson has not made any statements in regards to what led to the deaths of both Lorenzo and Nolden including why did they decide to continue to follow Lorenzo outside after he already had left El Rey Supermarket and why didn't they call police when Lorenzo continued to refused to leave his backpack at the front customer service counter and walked in with backpack, and was followd by Nolden through out the store before Lorenzo finally made his exit from the store?

Lorenzo has no history of being a violent man nor does he have any history of gun violence convictions.

After his death, his felony convictions were spread by the mainstream media and certain individuals to probably justify his death. Lorenzo had an active warrant for a prior drug case.

In this case, the MPS officers didn't know of Lorenzo's felony convictions and that he had an active warrant, which are definitely irrelevant to what happened at El Rey.

Several things for sure that we know, Lorenzo was a regular cliente who loved to eat at El Rey food restaurant on Chávez Drive and he was not a violent man and he had no intention to commit mass murder as led to believe in social media posts because he walked out or was forced out of El Rey by MPS officers.

Lorenzo never brandished a handgun while inside El Rey until both MPS officers were altercating with him in the parking lot. He was a felon and is prohibited from carrying a deadly weapon. But, the penalty for a felon in possession of a firearm is 5 years in prison and not the death penalty in Wisconsin. Lorenzo as anyone else has a right to defend his or their life, if he believes his life is being threaten under Wisconsin law, although consequences might follow, but at least the individual would be alive to face them.

Wilson had authority over Nolden, if Wilson would have told Nolden to stand down and let Lorenzo go (continue on his way) once he exited the El Rey Supermarket and then call police, both Nolden and Lorenzo would be alive today. In this tragic incident at El Rey parking lot, it seems that Wilson and Nolden had a choice, but they made a deadly decision to get into an altercation with Lorenzo that resulted in the death of both Nolden and Lorenzo.

Their are multiple surveillance cameras inside El Rey and outside, and the last few minutes of video recorded of the outside shooting could determine, if charges will be filed against Wilson or he was justified in killing Lorenzo, and if both MPS officers exceeded their authority under state law. According to the MPS company website, their MPS officers wear body cameras.

Justice for both Lorenzo and Nolden is warranted in this case!

The family of Lorenzo says that they will continue to protest at El Rey on Chávez Drive with ski masks and backpacks to seek justice for Lorenzo.

Despite the outcome of this case, lawsuits from Lorenzo's family will follow, according to Wanda Rodriguez, the sister of Lorenzo who is also seeking justice for her brother.

36-year-old Luis Lorenzo And 59-year-old Anthony James Nolden Identified As The Two Deceased Men At El Rey Parking Lot Shooting In The Southside Of Milwaukee

Wilson, the Director of the Marshal Public Safety private security company fired the fatal shots that killed 36-year-old Lorenzo after Lorenzo fatally shot 59-year-old Marshal Public Safety Officer Nolden at the El Rey Supermarket parking lot.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Sunday, a disturbance ignited after Ivory Suttle, 29, aka, "Scooby Shiesty", a family member (cousin) of Luis Lorenzo, 36, aka, "Pito" attended a vigil for fallen Marshal Public Safety Anthony "Tony" Nolden, 59, at the El Rey Supermarket César E. Chávez outdoor Plaza (Placita). More than a hundred people including Milwaukee Alderman and City Council President José G. Pérez and Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa attended the outdoor vigil. The vigil organizers were the Brown Berets of Wisconsin, which Walter Garron was the vigil host of the event. The vigil at the 900 block of S. César E. Chávez Drive was open to the public, which family members including the mother of Lorenzo did not intend to disrupt the vigil, but to peacefully protest the killing of Lorenzo by a Marshal Public Safety officer. 

Outdoor vigil video (22:16 minutes) link: https://youtu.be/v9F1x1ncViw

Suttle was present at the vigil and after it ended, an incident occurred when Marshal Public Safety (MPS) officers including Enoch Wilson, the Director of MPS began an brief altercation with Suttle for allegedly taking photos, which Suttle was forced to the ground and his hands were handcuffed behind his back by security officers, as other security guards gathered around him. Suttle cried out that he didn't do anything wrong and didn't take any photos, while Wilson told Suttle, he didn't have a right to take photos or be on private property.

Suttle posted on his Facebook Scooby Shiesty that, "The same security company Marshall public safety who killed Pito Said I was being disrespectful because I was talking to CBS58 about Pito Lorenzo side of the story they were mad making fake accusations that I was being disrespectful and trespassing I started going on live they drew their guns public safety officer Dyson started pushing me then 10+ public safety officers slammed me on the ground they put me in cuffs and when I got up and as I was talking to the police the real police. He kept harassing me and making threats all with his gun in his hand all while I was still in handcuffs. I came for a peaceful protest..."

When police arrived, Suttle was released and escorted to the Southeast sidewalk where the rest of the Lorenzo family members were peacefully protesting and calling for justice in the death of Lorenzo.

According to Suttle, Lorenzo had gone to El Rey Supermarket to eat breakfast, when he entered El Rey, MPS Officer Nolden told him that he had to leave a backpack or bag in front. Lorenzo was also wearing some type of ski mask covering his face, according to an El Rey source.

Lorenzo didn't want to leave the bag in front and walked to the restaurant section when MPS Officer Nolden followed him. Nolden called for backup and Wilson arrived.

Both Nolden and Wilson went outside with Lorenzo and for some reason, Nolden, Wilson and Lorenzo got into an altercation. That's when Lorenzo took out a handgun from his waistband and fired at Nolden striking him. Then in response, Wilson fired his handgun at Lorenzo fatally striking him. So far, police haven't determined who fired first, according to a press release.

Suttle and Wanda Rodriguez,  Lorenzo's sister told Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) that they believed Lorenzo was profiled by the way he was dressed and allegations that he tried to steal from El Rey were false. They confirmed that Lorenzo was carrying at least $2,000 in the backpack and didn't want to leave it in the front unattended.

Rodriguez also said that Lorenzo might have been under the influence of drugs and panicked that two security officers had profiled him, while carrying that much money and he feared for his life. She says that the MPS officers chased him to the end of the parking lot and shot him. Lorenzo deserves to be alive today and the right to be heard. Rodriguez also told HNNUSA that they will seek legal action against El Rey Supermarket and the Marshal Public Safety company.

No one was arrested on Sunday at El Rey after the vigil, but an MPS officer was seen carrying an AR-15 rifle. 

The MPS officers were at Sunday's vigil mourning the lost of a fellow officer who was know to be friendly and courteous to the public clientele at El Rey Supermarket.

On Saturday, the El Rey family released the following statement, "We are devastated by the violent act which led to a senseless loss of life this morning.  This horrible event not only happened in the community we love, but outside of our grocery store.  

Our deepest appreciation goes out to the security team, who bravely put their lives on the line to prevent this tragedy from escalating and potentially becoming an even worse situation.  And we thank each first responder as their actions helped to stabilize the scene and our neighborhood.  

We are proactively working with law enforcement as they conduct a standard investigation.  Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, we cannot provide further comment at this time.  Just know that the entire El Rey family is heartbroken by this senseless act and thankful for the support of our community."

Dan O'Donnell, a Trump supporter and a conservative WISN News Talk Show host first tweeted that Lorenzo had committed a theft at El Rey Supermarket and has since tweeted otherwise, now he tweeted that Lorenzo was peppered sprayed and began to shoot widely...it seems that O'Donnell is tweeting what seems to be misinformation for ratings some might say or his police sources are giving him false information.  

Lorenzo had no history of being a violent man or any history of gun violence.
