The group’s members were Arturo Guzmán Decena (alias “Z-1”), the leader; Alejandro Lucio Morales Betancourt (alias “Z-2”); Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano (alias “El Lazca”), Mateo Díaz López (alias “Z-6”); Jesús Enrique Rejón Aguilar (alias “El Mamito”); Óscar Guerrero Silva (alias “Z-8”); Omar Lorméndez Pitalúa (alias “Z-9”); Efraín Teodoro Torres (alias “Z-14”); Mellado Cruz (also known by his alias “Z-6” and “El Mellado”), among other ex- commandos. Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, Los Zetas were the Gulf Cartel’s military wing and had the task of protecting Cárdenas Guillén and killing rival cartel members.
