There have been recent changes in the leadership of the El Paso chapter of the BANDIDOS. Carlos “C Dog” Chacon is the new El Paso President.

One of the up and coming support groups of the BANDIDOS MC are the EMBUDOS MC based out of Las Cruces, NM.

Gang activity (Cont)

A recent restructuring of the BANDIDOS Outlaw Motorcycle Gang (OMG)in El Paso appears to have resulted in a significant change in the command structure from the top down. As these changes have occurred, there has also been a significant change in the behavior and activities of the BANDIDOS. This change is best described as an increased public presence of individuals and groups wearing the BANDIDOS colors in the form of riding vests, t-shirts, etc. Additionally, the BANDIDOS are becoming more brazen in their conduct with the general public and law enforcement with tactics intended to intimidate and/or harass.

Two notable incidents have occurred within a 30 day period. In June 2011, members of the EMBUDOS MC, a BANDIDOS support group, were holding a meeting with the President of the El Paso BANDIDOS Chapter at an establishment in Dona Ana County near Las Cruces, NM. Two off duty officers unwittingly entered the establishment and observed the meeting taking place. The officers were confronted by several EMBUDOS, and questioned as to who they were and if they worked for a law enforcement agency. The officers denied being affiliated with law enforcement, but the EMBUDOS members confronting the officers photographed the officers’ faces and the license plates affixed to their motorcycles. The officers were then allowed to leave without further incident. While this occurred, the security guard working the front door of the establishment was replaced by two EMBUDOS who were acting as sentries.

In the month of July 2011, a Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol Trooper conducted a traffic stop on the Vice President of the BANDIDOS El Paso Chapter. The female passenger of the motorcycle driven by the BANDIDOS VP immediately dismounted the motorcycle and began to make phone calls and send text messages on her cell phone. A short time later, several BANDIDOS wearing BANDIDOS riding vests arrived at the scene of the traffic stop in a pickup and set up surveillance a short distance away in a parking lot. The Trooper confronted the BANDIDOS when they Arrived and conducted a consent search of the vehicle they arrived in. A High-Point9mm handgun was located in the vehiclealong with several locks tied to handker-chiefs. No arrests were made.

Gang activity (Cont)

Officers are encouraged to remain vigilant and to practice appropriate officer safety tactics if encountering BANDIDOS or BANDIDOS support group members, especially on traffic stops where individuals are in possession of cell phones that can be used to disclose the location of a traffic stop.

If any officer or agency has information regarding recent similar events involving BANDIDOS or BANDIDOS support group members, please contact DPS CID Agent Steve Marks at 915-849-4000, or DPS CID Agent Brandon Speed at 915-832-5367.

Investigators from the Ministerial Police Investigative Unit for Crimes against Life were directed to the shallow grave containing body of a person that appears to have been executed. The discovery was made in a desert area located south west of Ciudad Juarez.

The first report was taken after 8 PM at Ejército Nacional and Adolfo López Mateos avenues. The message stated “Mr. Governor, why do you say there is no violence in the Valley of Juárez if they burn churches, houses and kill entire families? Why do you complain that Marisol Valles stains the image of Chihuahua? Who are you protecting in the valley, Toño Marrufo and Gabino Salas? Why aren’t Chapo’s people detained? Is it because they have an agreement with the military and the blue? If we do not see an equal arrangement we will come for you.” The message was not signed by any group. More banners were reported with similar content in different parts of the city. Other banners were found at Elisa and Jose Manuel Castro Griensen streets in colonia División del Norte, Santiago Ramírez and Calixto Contreras streets, Sonora and Centeno de El Granjero streets, as well as Durazno and Calabaza streets in the Felipe Ángeles sub-division.

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Area Assessment (cont)WM Consulting operates a website devoted to tracking the number of narco related killings in Mexico on a Google map. Data was used from “El Universal”, one of Mexico's national newspapers as well as “El Diario” for the killings in Juarez. At first the reportage from El Universal was comprehensive, however, El Universal's reporting was becoming less and less exact with only vague references such that mapping events from El Universal is now inconsistent. Thus, although there are still occasional updates from El Universal that are added, other sources such as “El Blog del Narco” or “Mundo Narco” are also used. The link to the site is:
