BREAKING: SON OF DREADED DRUGLORD "EL CHAPO" GUZMAN KIDNAPED!

EDT 08.17.16
Shortly before 1 a.m. on Monday, seven armed
men stormed into a trendy restaurant on the
main drag of Mexican beach resort Puerto
Vallarta.
They interrupted a group of revelers in the white-
walled restaurant, separating the men from the
women, and left with a high-value captive,
according to Mexican authorities.
Jesus Alfredo Guzman, the 29-year-old son of
jailed Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo"
Guzman, was among the six men kidnapped,
Jalisco Attorney General Eduardo Almaguer said
at a news conference Tuesday.
The kidnapping is the latest blow to the elder
Guzman's efforts from behind bars to maintain
Sinaloa cartel's dominance in the region amid
challenges from an emerging rival, the Jalisco
New Generation cartel.
Jesus Alfredo and his brother Ivan Archivaldo
Guzman are thought to be involved with the
Sinaloa cartel, along with Guzman's son by
another woman, Ovidio Guzmán Lopez.
Though Almaguer did not attribute the
kidnappings to New Generation, he said that a
criminal group was responsible.
Witness interviews, surveillance video and a
search of five vehicles parked outside La Leche
led to the identification of Jesus Alfredo and
three other men, all with ties to organized crime,
Almaguer said. The additional men men were
identified as Juan Daniel Calva Tapia, 53, Josias
Nahujali Rabago Borbolla, 35 and Víctor Galvan
Ureña, 46.
"At this moment, we have identified four of the
kidnapped," Almaguer said, "one of them being
Jesus Alfredo Guzman."
The Mexican army, marines, federal police, state
police and the country's top prosecution office
are searching for the missing men as well as
those responsible, Almaguer said.
No one has contacted Mexican authorities to
report the men missing, and authorities have not
heard from the kidnappers, Almaguer said.
Jesus Alfredo is the youngest of El Chapo's two
children from his first marriage. His older
brother, Ivan Archivaldo Guzman, was imprisoned
in Mexico in 2005, but released three years later
for lack of evidence.
Earlier Tuesday, Guzman family attorney Pablo
Badillo said it was "very likely" that Ivan
Archivaldo was abducted from the restaurant.
Badillo told newsmen the Guzman family contacted
him Tuesday afternoon and told him that "the
possibility of Ivan Archivaldo having been
abducted is very high."
Almaguer had also said that Ivan Archivaldo was
among those kidnapped, though he eventually
backpedaled on the claim.
Ivan Archivaldo's name did not come up at
Tuesday night's news conference, and it was not
immediately clear whether he was among those
kidnapped.
The elder Guzman is behind bars in a Juarez,
Mexico, prison as his attorneys fight efforts to
extradite him to the United States.
