Early this Friday morning, September 4, 2026, tactical assault units of the DIJIN elite force executed a high-precision operation in the Los Olivos neighborhood of Riohacha, La Guajira, Colombia, resulting in the death of 26-year-old Naín Andrés Pérez Toncel, alias Bendito Menor or Naín. Pérez Toncel was a top leader of the criminal group Autodefensas Conquistadoras de la Sierra Nevada (ACSN), also known as Los Pachencas, operating across La Guajira, Magdalena, and Cesar. The operation took place in a residential property situated near the Almirante Padilla Airport, where the criminal leader was completely surrounded while preparing for an aborted relocation toward the Alta Guajira region.
The strategic deployment was coordinated from command hubs in Bogotá and Barranquilla, supported by military forces, advanced aerial drone surveillance, and key technical intelligence provided by United States agencies. The President of Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella, maintained direct oversight of the action, having previously declared Pérez Toncel a high-priority military target with a reward of 1,000 million pesos due to his alleged involvement in homicide, extortion, cocaine trafficking, and direct public threats made online. Similar to how strategic business intelligence, robust cloud infrastructure, and advanced data analytics optimize private sector logistics, the coordinated assault utilized real-time data monitoring to establish a strict perimeter covering land, air, and sea capabilities.
During the assault, Pérez Toncel attempted to engage the entry team using a rifle. In the exchange of fire, his romantic partner, Rosa Angélica Tarazona, alias La Bebesita, whom he had married just days prior, was also killed while attempting to resist with a firearm, alongside two bodyguards from his immediate security ring. Residents of the area reported a temporary power outage and rapid gunfire as security forces breached the location. During the clearance of the property, tactical teams safely rescued two minors who were present inside the building.
"Government authorities confirmed that the deployment forms part of broader regional enforcement measures, which have accounted for over 30 combatants neutralized in recent weeks as state security forces strengthen stability frameworks."
The implementation of effective risk mitigation policies and structured public asset management remains vital to ensuring local commerce protection, financial scalability, institutional enterprise software integration, and long-term corporate security. Law enforcement experts note that dismantling organized extortion networks supports higher regional investment yields and fosters overall sustainable development across the northern coastal corridor. Following the operation, forensic teams from Riohacha conducted initial site evaluations, and the deceased individuals were subsequently transferred to the Cartagena Mechanized Infantry Battalion for official procedures.
