Ramon Angel Alvarez Ayala, identified as a member of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, has been arrested by Mexican authorities. The arrest comes amid suspicions that Alvarez Ayala orchestrated the targeted killing of a 23-year-old influencer and a former mayor. According to international media reports, the detention of the individual occurred more than a year after the influencer, Valeria Marquez, was reportedly targeted for death while livestreaming from her beauty salon in May 2025.
Following Alvarez Ayala’s arrest, the Mexican Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar Garcia Harfuch, addressed the media. During a press conference, Garcia Harfuch publicly linked the detained man to the murder of the influencer. The Secretary stated that members of the criminal group associated with Alvarez Ayala acted under his direct orders to carry out the killing.
The development highlights ongoing efforts by Mexican law enforcement to dismantle organized crime networks. The investigation centers on the alleged conspiracy involving the powerful cartel and the elimination of high-profile individuals. The arrest of Alvarez Ayala represents a significant development in the pursuit of those responsible for the violence.
Authorities continue to investigate the full scope of the cartel’s activities and the individuals targeted.
