A presumed hitman linked to the La UJ-40 gang, known as 'El Muela', was killed in Mexico City, reportedly sharing videos online that showcased his violent criminal activities.
Gael Alexander 'N', known as 'El Muela', an 18-year-old presumed member of the La UJ-40 gang, was shot dead at his home in the Morelos neighborhood in central Mexico City. The gang is known for its violent activities, particularly among its young members, who are mostly aged between 15 and 21, positioning them as a significant threat in the urban landscape of Mexico City. El Muela's death is a notable incident given his previous online behavior.
The case has gained attention due to the videos that El Muela posted on his social media accounts, where he openly boasted about his crimes. One such video reportedly shows him assaulting and shooting a person while mocking them for crying, highlighting the brutal nature typical of gang violence in the region. The incident underscores the increasing normalization of violent acts within gang culture, particularly among youth.
El Muela's involvement with La UJ-40 and the explicit display of violence in his posts reflect the broader issues of gang influence and youth crime in Mexico. Such incidents raise alarm about how violence permeates urban life, particularly in vulnerable communities, and raises questions about law enforcement's effectiveness in addressing these gangs and protecting potential victims from such violent criminals.
