The detainee has been identified as José Antonio N., alias "El 51."  Investigations link him not only to the murder of the bakers but also to at least seven other killings committed over the past two weeks—including the murder of three siblings in the capital's Alvarrada neighborhood, as well as that of a state police officer on January 2, 2026.  Colima’s Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Ricardo Gómez, reported that the detainee was a member of a criminal cell belonging to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), specifically the cell known as "Cobra."  "So, we’re talking about a hitman who executed seven people in just two weeks; this highlights the magnitude of the violence generators relative to the population of a given state, doesn't it?
