Enrique "Kiki" Camarena was a DEA agent who was abducted, tortured, and murdered in 1985 by members of the Guadalajara cartel in Mexico. His abduction and murder were ordered by cartel leaders, including Rafael Caro Quintero, Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, and Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, in retaliation for Camarena's successful efforts in uncovering and disrupting their drug operations.


Camarena was kidnapped in broad daylight in Guadalajara, and his body was discovered a month later, showing signs of severe torture. His death shocked both the Mexican and American governments, leading to a massive investigation and a strained relationship between the two countries.


The subsequent trial and investigations, known as "Operation Leyenda," involved extensive cooperation between U.S. and Mexican authorities. Many cartel members and corrupt officials were arrested and prosecuted. Rafael Caro Quintero and Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo were captured and sentenced to lengthy prison terms in Mexico. Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo was eventually arrested in 1989 and sentenced to 37 years in prison.
