Mazatlan, Sinaloa. – On April 22, while thousands of motorcyclists gathered in Mazatlán, a vehicle ran over a man who hours later would be identified as Martín Humberto Ponce Félix, a fugitive from the United States Anti-Drug Agency.

The celebration of the International Motorcycle Week in its 26th edition was stained with blood one day before the traditional parade of participants; It was past 1 in the afternoon when a Jeep Liberty vehicle that was traveling along Camarón Sábalo Avenue made a U-turn at the intersection with Ibiz Street, furtively hitting a passing motorcyclist.

Without asking questions, the man was transferred as a delicate by paramedics from a private clinic, however, the damage was so serious that in a matter of minutes the man lost his life. When investigating the identity of the deceased in order to communicate to his relatives, a search announcement from 2012 from the DEA emerged; It was Martín Humberto Ponce Félix, financial operator of Juan José Esparragoza Moreno, alias ‘El Azul’.
