Columbia's Most Wanted Drug Dealer Caught- Kennedi Mayes

After chasing Henry de Jesus Lopez, aka "Mi Sangre," or "My Blood," around for several months, Columbian police finally caught him in Buenos Aires. Lopez is accused of shipping ridiculously large amounts of cocaine to the US through Central America. “Argentine Security Secretary Sergio Berni called Lopez ‘extremely dangerous’ and said he has been responsible for ‘hundreds of deaths.’" Lopez brought his wife and child to Argentina at the end of last year, settled them in a nice house in a gated community and then went around jumping from place to place and assuming different identities with passport to match. He’s been seen with as many as eight body guards. A Columbian informant was used to track him down and this eventually led to his capture outside of an Argentinian restaurant. Officials are still trying to figure out where to imprison him.

It saddens me to know that people have to go to extremes of selling drugs and running from the law to make money. And they don’t have to choose to sell drug to make a profit either, yet they do. I don’t understand why they do and I’m sure I never will. I’m glad this man has been caught and is being brought to justice.
