<div>The Mexican police officer involved in the arrest of the son of jailed drug lord Joaquin &#8216;El Chapo&#8217; Guzman was assassinated after his car came under a barrage of gunfire inside a parking lot in Culiacán, the capital of Sinaloa state on Wednesday.<br />
Closed circuit television cameras captured the horrifying moment on Wednesday morning when at least two armed men with semiautomatic rifles climbed out of a red car and opened fire at a white Nissan four-door sedan.<br />
The red car followed the white car into the parking lot of a shopping center in Culiacán, the capital of Sinaloa state, <a class="class" href="https://www.infobae.com/america/mexico/2019/11/06/acribillaron-con-mas-de-150-balazos-a-un-policia-en-culiacan-habria-participado-en-el-operativo-contra-ovidio/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Infobae.com</a> reported.<br />

The video shot by soldiers shows Guzmán exit the house with his hands up.<br />

Guzmán called his brother Archivaldo Iván Guzmán Salazar on his cellphone and told him to stop the chaos.<br />
Archivaldo refused and shouted threats against the soldiers and their families.<br />

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Officials in Mexico City ultimately ordered security forces to withdraw four hours after the operation began to avoid more bloodshed.<br />
Mexico&#8217;s Public Safety Secretary Alfonso Durazo said that the aborted operation to arrest Guzmán Lopez was a &#8216;hasty action&#8217; that deserves criticism &#8211; but the details revealed showed that the arrest had been in the works for more than a week.<br />
The government&#8217;s timeline of events showed that the U.S. government requested Guzmán Lopez&#8217;s arrest for extradition on September 13, and on October 9 a special Mexican army anti-drug unit traveled from Mexico City to Culiacan to prepare.<br />
<span style="color: var(--color-text);">Authorities were still in the process of obtaining a search warrant when the operation began on October 17 outside a large home where Guzmán Lopez had been located.<br />
</span>As they moved on the house, gunmen began attacking those involved in the operation.<br />
Sandoval said that once lawmen came under attack, the search warrant was no longer needed.<br />
What seemed clear was that once the operation started, government forces were quickly outmaneuvered by the Sinaloa cartel.<br />
Military planners had four additional teams forming an outer security ring for the operation, but the cartel&#8217;s gunmen cut off the routes for three of them preventing additional support from arriving.<span style="color: var(--color-text);"> </span></p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">At one military housing block, a sergeant ushered children who were playing outside to safety, but he was taken hostage.<br />
In all, two officers and nine soldiers were taken hostage by the cartel, according to Sandoval.<br />
The bulk of them were providing security for two fuel tanker convoys at a toll plaza on the outskirts of the city.<br />
Sandoval said soldiers estimated that 150 gunmen in 30 vehicles arrived.<br />
Once Guzmán Lopez was released, all the military personnel were let go as well and the team that had captured Guzmán Lopez left.<br />
It was unclear was who was negotiating with cartel during the confrontation.<br />
Sandoval said that the leader of the team with Guzmán Lopez was offered $3million to let him go, but refused and was then told the cartel would kill him and his family.</p>
