Background:

Victor "El Rayo" Paredes, aged 35, was a former operative within the notorious Los Zetas cartel, known for his swift tactics and strategic planning. His rise within the cartel marked him as a key figure in their operations.

History:

• Early Involvement: Paredes began as a low-level courier for Los Zetas, quickly ascending through the ranks due to his effectiveness and cunning.
• Position within the Cartel: By the time Los Zetas was dismantled in 2018, Paredes had already distanced himself from the cartel, seeking to avoid law enforcement scrutiny amid the cartel's downfall.

Post-Cartel Activities:

Following the disbandment of Los Zetas in 2018, Paredes is believed to have fled Aguascalientes to evade law enforcement. Intelligence suggests he relocated to Los Santos, California, where he is suspected of assuming a new identity and reintegrating into the criminal underworld.

Current Status:

• Behavioral Analysis: Paredes likely exhibits signs of paranoia linked to his past. Recent reports indicate he has begun approaching another cartel operating in the Los Santos region, signaling a potential re-engagement in the drug trade.
