Manhunt

Seems like the authorities might be closer and closer to getting this guy, I think. [1] They recently arrested "El 19", but many of his top lieutenants fell at the end of last year. After I finish updating El Chapo's article (most of my work is on a Word document), I'll get to this guy. I don't see him making past this year.

Height and weight

I didn't know where to post this but he's 1.80 not 1.75, according to an interview he did http://www.proceso.com.mx/?p=106967 & he looks heavier than 160 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.38.155.177 (talk) 17:49, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for posting. I think the U.S. government's measurement is actually just an estimation. Mexican databases might have a license of him somewhere with his height, but it is likely that the figures were simply put down as an estimate too (at least that's what they did with my license ... they just asked me how tall I was). I'll be posting both heights as soon as I come back from class. Thanks again for consulting the talkpage. ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 18:36, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rename article?

Hi. I'm thinking we should probably rename the article to Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, similar to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. He is overwhelmingly known/referred to as "El Mayo", and you'll hardly see the surname "García" in the press. I also want to fix the redirect of "Ismael Zamabda" once I create articles for Ismael Zambada Imperial and Ismael Zambada Sicairos, his sons. MX (✉ • ✎) 18:24, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support'. Known mostly as El Mayo, so that would be easier to a reader to locate this article. Rowan Forest (talk) 18:34, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

this is the official picture used by the DEA and it has color. I am pitching for it to be the photo instead of the wanted poster DEA website. https://www.dea.gov/fugitives/ismael-zambada-garcia Sc30002001 (talk) 13:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arrest location

They were arrested at the Dona Ana Jetport in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, not in El Paso, Texas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.28.170.96 (talk) 20:58, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
