The Gulf Cartel silenced local news outlets in the border city of Matamoros, telling reporters the murder of one of its longtime lieutenants would trigger violent consequences if made public.
Hundreds of people gathered for his funeral and held a large-scale celebration; however, under orders of the criminal organization, the entire episode went unaccounted for by local media.

The circumstances surrounding the torture and slaying remain unclear. However, what is known is that on October 6, Tamaulipas state authorities responded to a call about foul smells emanating from a sand-colored 2004 Lincoln Navigator that had been left running near a local cemetery on the northwest side of the city.
When authorities arrived, they found a body inside the vehicle. The victim was covered in bruises, had been strangled, and had been left in the driver’s seat. The victim was later identified as 45-year-old Gumercindo “El Gume” Perez Maya, a longtime mid-level boss within the Gulf Cartel.
