Incident Overview
Camilo Ochoa Delgado, better known online as “El Alucín”, was shot and killed on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at his home in the Lomas de Cuernavaca neighborhood in Temixco, Morelos, Mexico. His body was found in the bathroom with multiple gunshot wounds.
According to witnesses, a hooded gunman entered the residence and opened fire before fleeing the scene in a white Chevrolet vehicle. The Morelos State Attorney General’s Office has confirmed the homicide and announced that an investigation is underway in coordination with federal and state authorities.
Who Was Camilo Ochoa?
Ochoa rose to fame as a controversial influencer and ex-convict, attracting hundreds of thousands of YouTube followers by telling stories about his past life as a former member of the Sinaloa Cartel, his time in prison, and his supposed exit from organized crime.
In January 2025, Camilo’s name appeared on flyers dropped from planes over Culiacán, Sinaloa, accusing him of being associated with ‘Los Chapitos’—the faction of the Sinaloa Cartel led by the sons of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. The flyers claimed he was a financier or liaison for a subgroup called “Los Sapitos”.
Camilo denied these allegations, claiming he was the victim of a smear campaign fueled by internal cartel conflicts—especially tensions with the rival ‘Mayiza’ faction.
Part of a Pattern
Ochoa’s murder is part of a growing trend: influencers and online figures linked to cartel narratives—whether factually or fictionally—have increasingly become targets of violence. Others previously mentioned in the same flyers, including Gail Castro (Gail Toys), El Jasper, and El Gordo Peruci, have also been killed in recent months.
In a chilling video posted earlier this year, Camilo reacted to one such murder by saying:
“I just have to survive, stay safe, and not mess up.”
Why This Matters
- Criminal Spillover into Digital Culture: The assassination highlights how organized crime conflicts are now bleeding into online spaces, targeting YouTubers and social media figures.
- ‘Narco-Influencers’ Under Fire: As cartel factions battle for power, individuals accused—fairly or not—of having ties are increasingly vulnerable.
- Ongoing Cartel War: The internal war between Los Chapitos and La Mayiza continues to claim lives far outside the traditional criminal ranks.
Camilo Ochoa’s killing raises questions not just about freedom of speech, but about the blurring lines between criminal storytelling, online fame, and cartel violence in modern Mexico.
