Authorities in Quito have apprehended Jeremy Alfredo Jácome Buñay, known by the alias ‘Gato Jeremy,’ who is alleged to be a key figure within the Los Lobos armed group. The arrest occurred during Operation Atlas-124, a targeted effort to enhance security in the Pichincha province.

According to the Minister of the Interior, John Reimberg, ‘Gato Jeremy’ is the nephew of Colón Pico, a figure authorities identify as a suspected leader of Los Lobos. Jácome Buñay was reportedly apprehended with two other individuals, including a 14-year-old minor, who are believed to have been part of his security detail.

The operation yielded a significant seizure, including two firearms, ammunition, six cell phones, and a truck. Investigators also discovered religious altars associated with the “Santa Muerte” and symbols linked to Colón Pico. The Ministry of the Interior stated that investigations connect ‘Gato Jeremy’ to drug trafficking, extortion, and illegal firearms activities. He has prior records for resisting arrest and weapons possession.
