Officials have confirmed that the victim was the nephew of the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel.

Edel is the subject of a narcocorrido – a genre of Mexican music with lyrics relating to drug trafficking or dedicated to specific drug lords – released by Los Alegres del Barranco in 2020, according to Daily Star.
He was given the name El Cuñado (meaning “the brother-in-law”) after El Chapo gave him the key, according to the lyrics.
