A federal grand jury has indicted six individuals connected to the purchase of firearms and 2,000 rounds of ammunition at an El Paso gun show, allegedly intended for the Sinaloa drug cartel. Among those charged is Daniel Feliciano Ayala Murillo, a Mexican national who reportedly admitted to being a cartel member orchestrating these illegal acquisitions, as undercover agents observed him coordinating purchases during the January event.
The indictment highlights the ongoing threat posed by the Sinaloa cartel, designated by the U.S. government as a global terrorist organization due to its extensive drug trafficking and violent tactics. The charges against Ayala and his accomplices include trafficking and making false statements, with penalties of up to 25 years in federal prison for firearms trafficking meant for drug-related activities.
