The deputy director of the Zapopan Police, Carlos Manuel López Amezcua, who was murdered this Monday morning in a cafeteria in the La Estancia neighborhood, had been with the police station for 27 and a half years.
Flores Amezcua was 47 years old, with 27 years, six months, and 12 days of service. At the age of 20, he began his career in the Zapopan Security Police Station and went through different operational areas.
“Good friend, he was reliable in his work, he worked very well, unfortunately we never knew that he had any call or any aggression towards him. Unfortunately, this happened because he was the commissioner in charge of supervision. I don’t know what happened,” said the Chief Commissioner of the Zapopan Police, Roberto Lopez.
From 2000 to 2005 he served as deputy commander and commander of sectors 1, 2 and 3.
The following year, in 2006, he became commander of the Jaguares Motorized Squadron.
His work led him, in 2007, to become Officer of Sector 3 (Las Águilas), where he was characterized by his closeness to the citizens and for having the recognition of different neighborhood associations of his sector, with whom he worked on different projects to provide more security to the residents of the neighborhoods of this sector.
At the beginning of the present administration (October 2021), he was promoted to the position of Commissioner, serving as Operational Deputy Director, the third in command in the police scale, with the operational code 1603.
Carlos Lopez is survived by his three children, two women between 18 and 20 years old, and a 16 year old man.
