In the investigation of Carlos Manzo's murder, who was shot dead in November 2022, a strong connection to the taxi industry has emerged as three taxi drivers have been implicated. Recent hearings revealed that Jorge Armando N. was involved in coordinating actions to retrieve Fernando Josué N. from La Pergola, who is believed to have been recruited to facilitate the mayor's assassination. This indicates that organized crime has infiltrated local economic sectors, particularly those related to transportation.

On the night of November 1, 2022, it was reported that Fernando Josué N. orchestrated the movement of taxi drivers and motorcyclists to ensure the safety of those involved in the operation, allowing them to escape from Uruapan's historical center without being arrested. This level of coordination demonstrates a well-planned operation likely influenced by crime syndicates that manipulate local communities for illicit activities.

Following the initial hearings, Josué Eulogio N., another taxi driver, was arrested for allegedly running a street vending operation connected to drug trafficking. He is suspected of having recruited Manzo's protocol director, showing how deeply embedded these criminal networks are within both the transportation sector and local governance. The implications of these arrests indicate that the fight against organized crime requires a more thorough investigation of local services that might be under their control, especially in regions plagued by violence and corruption.
