Héctor David Delgado Santiago (23 December 1975 – 15 January 2013), commonly referred to by his alias ''El Metro 4'', was an alleged drug trafficker and high-ranking leader of the Mexican criminal organization known as the Gulf Cartel. Born and raised in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, ''El Metro 4'' initiated his criminal career by working with Los Metros, an enforcer gang of the Gulf Cartel. Within some time, his position in the cartel grew, and he later became the regional leader in Reynosa, Tamaulipas and the right-hand man of the drug lord Mario Ramírez Treviño. Although no official reports have been released, several media outlets allege that ''El Metro 4'' was found dead in Reynosa on 15 January 2013. The motives behind his assassination are still unknown, but the two prevailing theories suggest that he was killed by the rival gang Los Zetas or betrayed by members of his own cartel. ==Criminal career== Héctor David Delgado Santiago was born and raised in the Mexican border city of Matamoros, Tamaulipas on 23 December 1975. His father was a former customs broker in the area. He started his criminal career as a gang member for Los Metros, a muscle group of the drug trafficking organization known as the Gulf Cartel. As time passed, ''El Metro 4'' became acquainted with some corrupt Mexican law enforcement officials, and his rank in the Gulf Cartel grew.〔 Delgado Santiago, unlike other drug traffickers of his time like Gregorio Sauceda-Gamboa (''Metro 2'') and Samuel Flores Borrego (''Metro 3''), managed to keep a low-profile by working alongside corrupt law enforcement and staying out of the Mexican and U.S. authorities' radar. At some point in his career, ''El Metro 4'' worked as the regional boss of the Gulf Cartel in Reynosa, Tamaulipas and as the right-hand man of the current leader Mario Ramírez Treviño.〔 Between September and October 2012, ''El Metro 4'' was riding a battered old car (to avoid detection by the military) while heading to Río Bravo, Tamaulipas when he was pulled over by the transit police. The police tried to extort him, and did not believe he was a Gulf Cartel leader. "Feeling offended, he punished them all..." and forced all of the transit police in the area to do patrolling on foot for approximately six weeks for pulling him over.〔 ''El Metro 4'' was known by authorities on both sides of the border as a coldblooded and ruthless assassin. In 2011, the Texas Department of Public Safety indicated that he had given orders to his henchmen to fire at U.S. agents if they interfered with drug shipments of the cartel. There were also several attacks carried out in the United States that were attributed to ''El Metro 4'', who had a reputation of disregarding "borders when scores needed to be settled."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Héctor David Delgado Santiago」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
