“CHUCHO” CASTRO IN REAL LIFE, HIS FIGHT WITH GRISELDA AND THE DEATH OF HIS SON
Jesús Castro was Griselda Blanco's killer for several years, although he ultimately left it to pursue a life away from its activities. In fact, he even refused to help one of the woman's children, which was an affront to her given his position.
“Jesus rejected him (Griselda’s son). He said, “I broke up.” “I cut off contact with you and your mother and you're not welcome here.” Well, that was an insult to Griselda,” retired West Miami Police Chief Nelson Andreu said in the Conversation with CBS News.
For this reason he decided to broadcast Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, but he and his team were unsuccessful because although they managed to find him after a long search because he was hiding, they were unable to kill him. However, in the end they had their little boy, who was only two years old.
“They pulled up next to him as he (Chucho) was traveling on the Dixie Highway south of Dadeland. He sees a van pull up next to him. The sliding door opens and there are three guys with machine guns firing. He leans forward. The boy (Johnny) sitting on the armrest is shot twice in the face. “He falls to the ground and manages to escape them in traffic,” added the police officer who investigated the minor’s death.
Far from being annoyed by failures in execution, Griselda was pleased with what had happened, assuring that with the little boy's death both were imminent.. “When he found out we had the son by chance, he said he was glad they were at peace,” “Rivi” Ayala told police.
“When they returned to Griselda and told her that they had failed Jesus but had accidentally killed her son, she was overjoyed. He said, “Well, he deserved it, he rejected my son. “What better way to get revenge than to kill your son?” That’s the kind of cruelty and behavior that Griselda displayed,” Andreu mused.
