Posthumous Video Reveals How Drug Traffickers Hunted Camilo Ochoa

The posthumous testimony reveals that Ochoa was warned by former allies, people he helped in the past, during his time in the Los Dámaso faction. According to his account, thanks to these ties, he was informed in December 2024 about an operation to eliminate him, led by members of the organization of Ismael Zambada Siacairos, alias El Mayito Flaco, a central figure within La Mayiza.

“They started sending me audio recordings of everything they were planning… they’re after you, they’re after a daughter, they have this address for you, this one, and this one. They’re checking your accounts, they’ve blocked them, your bank accounts, your social media accounts,” Ochoa narrates in the clip collected by the channel.

The influencer recounts that on December 22, 2024, he learned that hitmen sent from Quilá to Mexico City were seeking to carry out an order to kill him and simulate a domestic assault. In the days leading up to the end of the year, he was tracked by people who asked about his hotel room in the capital and attempted to follow him in their van through areas such as Polanco and Santa Fe.

According to his own statement in the clip, in the weeks leading up to his murder, he was the target of public intimidation campaigns and digital threats disseminated by social media accounts and channels linked to organized crime. Camilo Ochoa’s posthumous video details how he was persecuted and threatened before his murder.
One day after the murder of Sinaloa influencer Camilo Ochoa was announced, the YouTube channel Grillonautas published a posthumous video in which the influencer firsthand revealed the atmosphere of persecution, threats, and manipulation that surrounded his final months of life.

The footage reveals how various criminal groups followed and harassed the digital creator since late 2024, in a context marked by internal betrayals, smear campaigns, and failed attacks in the war between Los Chaopitos and La Mayiza for the Sinaloa Cartel.

Camilo Ochoa was murdered on the afternoon of Saturday, August 16, at his home in Temixco, Morelos. His body was found with several bullet wounds inside the bathroom, shortly after family members reported gunshots.
In the released video, Ochoa explains that one of his strategies for surviving the criminal environment was to feign ignorance. “Sometimes I like to pretend I don’t know anything, not out of naivety, but as a kind of social experiment,” he states in the message. He explains that this stance allowed him to observe genuine reactions, expose the falsehoods of those around him, and anticipate threats within and outside of criminal organizations. “The truth comes to light, revealing the hypocrisy. And those masks fall,” he emphasized.
