December 28, 1980 - Juan Pablo Ledezma
His alleged role at the head of La Línea placed him at the operational center of one of Mexico's most violent cartel conflicts, responsible for the armed enforcement wing of the Juárez Cartel during a period of sustained bloodshed in the region. The decision to sever ties with the Sinaloa Cartel — and what followed from it — drew the direct enmity of Joaquín Guzmán, a rare distinction even in that world. The Mexican government's standing bounty of $2 million reflects the degree to which his capture has remained an official priority.
From Wikipedia
Juan Pablo Ledezma (born December 28, 1987), also known as José Luis Fratello, is the alleged current leader of the Mexican gang La Línea, which is the leading armed wing of the Juárez Cartel, and is said to be the current head of the organization.
Arrest warrant
The Mexican government is currently offering a $2 million USD bounty for information leading to his capture. In 2019, imprisoned Sinaloa Cartel operative Jesús 'El Rey' Zambada revealed that notorious Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman had issued a bounty for Ledezma's death after Ledezma ended the Juarez Cartel's alliance with the Sinaloa Cartel. Ledezma is also suspected of orchestrating El Chapo’s brother’s killing in prison. Zambada also claimed that Ledezma was the only person who earned "an enormous hatred" from El Chapo. At the time of his arrest in May 2020, it was reported that Luis Alberto “El Mocho” M. was at that point the leader of La Linea and that El Mocho's predecessor, who is also imprisoned, is named Ricardo Arturo “El Piporro” C.
