- On June 10, 2025, Héctor Martínez Jiménez, 'El Bart,' and Pool Pedro Gómez Jaramillo, 'El Pool,' were sentenced to prison for the attempted murder of journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva in Mexico City.
- The attack followed a 20-day weapons training camp in Ciudad Guzmán, Jalisco, where 'El Bart' and others were prepared under the Jalisco New Generation Cartel's guidance, as revealed in April statements.
- After returning to Mexico City, 'El Bart' shot Gómez Leyva multiple times using a nine-millimeter firearm, following instructions reportedly given by cartel leader Mr. Mencho through 'El Patrón.'
- Ricardo Sánchez Pérez del Pozo, head of FEADLE, confirmed the attackers' cartel training and noted that 'El Primo' taught them weapons handling, while sentencing detailed 14 and 12-year terms for 'El Bart' and 'El Pool.'
- These convictions highlight the CJNG's role in targeting journalists, with the attack demonstrating the cartel's operational reach and continuing threats to press freedom in Mexico.
