José Rosario Heras López is a police officer from the Attorney General’s Office of Sinaloa with 24 years of service. He used part of that time to provide security services to Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada.
Grupo REFORMA obtained a copy of his police record, which details that Heras López joined the Attorney General’s Office of Sinaloa on July 6, 2000, as a Ministerial Police agent.
At that time, the PRI member Juan S. Millán Lizárraga was Governor and the Attorney General’s Office depended on the Executive Branch.
On December 15, 2010, he became an “Investigative Agent” of the Ministerial Police.
Heras López was later assigned as Commander of the Ministerial Police in the El Salado region, an area that, according to the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), has been the area of influence of “El Mayo” Zambada.
Jesús Antonio Aguilar Íñiguez, then director of the Ministerial Police of Sinaloa, was in charge of assigning command to that area.
On July 25, it was announced that Zambada García had been arrested in the United States. The Embassy of that country in Mexico reported at the time that it was a detention against his will.
However, 15 days later, the drug lord’s lawyer shared a letter in which “El Mayo” details that he was kidnapped by the sons of his former partner Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán to hand him over to US justice and his bodyguards were murdered.
Among those bodyguards, according to Zambada García, was José Rosario Heras López.
“I was accompanied by four members of the security staff, of which two remained outside the perimeter. The two who entered with me were José Rosario Heras López, Commander of the Judicial Police of the State of Sinaloa, and Rodolfo Chaidez, a long-time member of my security team,” the letter reads.
Heras López’s sister reported her brother’s disappearance on July 25, but the Sinaloa Attorney General’s Office did not disclose the details until after the drug lord’s letter was revealed.
There is no search form, nor an alert. For now, there is only an unpublished photograph in the possession of Grupo REFORMA together with his service letter prepared by the department where he has worked for 24 years.
Heras López is a “policeman who stains the corporation,” said Sara Bruna Quiñónez Estrada, who until the morning of August 16 was Attorney General of Sinaloa, when the letter was revealed.
