Prosecutors said police and military personnel arrested on Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2017 an “old school” Zetas leader Martiniano Jaramillo who allegedly coordinated the 2010 killing spree that included the massacre of 72 Central American migrants in San Fernando in the border state of Tamaulipas. Prosecutors said he was arrested at a hospital near the Tamaulipas state capital. Authorities said Jaramillo was linked to the May 10 killing of activist Miriam Rodriguez, who spent years searching for her missing daughter and discovered her body. In 2010, gunmen for the Zetas drug cartel killed 72 migrants in the Tamaulipas town of San Fernando. The next year, 193 bodies were found buried in San Fernando, most of them migrants who had been kidnapped off buses and killed by the Zetas.
