Better known as ‘El Chapo Alfredo’, according to infobae, he operated with his cartel in Valle del Yaqui, Sonora and it is speculated that he is the father of the singer Alfredo Olivas, the Mexican who sings narcocorridos.

Alfredo Olivas’s brother, Irving Alejandro Olivas Rojas was riddled with bullets along with his family, killing his wife and his 20-month-old son. Thus began the serious problems for the Mexican singer.

On December 14, 2018, an armed group opened fire on the singer’s father. According to infobae, this happened in Zapopan. Although they didn’t kill Olivas, he was attacked again while recovering in the hospital.

According to infobae, the Olivas family altered the crime scene and cleaned up the evidence that revealed that this had occurred. Seven days after the attack, a narco-manta appeared on the pedestrian bridge of the El Campanario neighborhood, on López Mateos avenue.
