when he was gunned down from behind.[4] According to journalist Antonio Nieto authorities in the state of Mexico have identified six suspicious vehicles that are believed to have been following Morales which transported and provided an escape for the assassin.[5] These tactics indicate that the assassination was carefully planned and orchestrated but the vehicles involved in the attack are being investigated and tracked down by police.[6] Milton Morales began working in 2010 under the Secretaría de Gobernación (SEGOB) or interior ministry in charge of regional security; five years later he would become part of the now-defunct Policía Federal (federal police).[7] In 2016 he was named general director of the National Center of Planning Analysis and Intelligence for combatting organized crime under the now defunct Procuraduría General de la República(PGR) In 2021 Morales received the position of general coordinator for the newly created tactical strategy and special operations unit of the Secretary of Citizen Security in Mexico City.[8] Before his assassination Morales was expected to work closely with his colleague as the secretary for Federal Security in the upcoming administration.[9] It is vital to understand that Milton Morales was the right-hand man of Omar García Harfuch who will be the new security minister under upcoming president Claudia Sheinbaum and one of the men responsible for changing how security forces functioned in Mexico City Morales had known Harfuch since their days back in the federal police and the PGR and had been entrusted by Harfuch with some of the highest profile cases in Mexico such as the assassination attempt against journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva.[10] Morales was essential in applying Harfuch’s security plan in Mexico City to coordinate all security forces and apply intelligence techniques to strengthen police investigations.[11] The most remarkable change in security was that police in CDMX were given the capacity to investigate and work as detectives This change is significant for citizens as this means that the old process of having to go to the station to report to have the prosecutor’s office determine if the police could investigate the crime has ended The old process made police investigations very slow and inefficient The new security strategy also took down institutional barriers that separated federal and local crimes increased the number of cameras in Mexico City from 15,000 to almost 75,000 and provided better training and a 54% increase in salary to police.[12] The new security strategy was successful and intentional homicides in Mexico City fell by 55% and extortion fell by 42% from 2021-2023.[13] Milton Morales was important for Harfuch and a critical element for the new security strategy that the next Mexican administration will implement Some journalists like Héctor de Mauleón have interpreted his assassination as a possible message of intimidation to Harfuch who is slated to be the new head of Federal Security.[14] Harfuch himself was targeted in June 2020 by 28 assassins who carried high-power weapons and managed to shoot Harfuch who fortunately survived the attempt on his life.[15] Investigators believe the attempt on Harfuch can be traced back to the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) the Cártel de Sinaloa (CDS) has also shown increasing willingness to target government security forces and elected officials.[16] Due to the low-profile Morales kept his importance for combating organized crime and the apparent sophistication behind the assassination this incident was not a random act of violence While the criminal investigation of the assassination is ongoing and is still in its early stages two individuals—a man and a woman—have already been arrested for their purported linkages to the assassination For whatever reason Milton Morales did not have a security detail protecting him at the time of the targeted incident.[17] The two supects in Custody Fiscalía General de Justicia de Estado de México (https://x.com/FiscaliaEdomex/status/1817661228346437822) The assassination of Milton Morales Figueroa is another example of the use of instrumental violence occurring in mexico’s criminal insurgencies.[18] In this case the assassination of a state official that could inhibit a criminal cartel’s freedom of movement Such an act is a classic application of what David Kilcullen calls a battle for competitive control.[19] Morales assassination is a discrete example of the chronic narcopolitical power struggles that characterize Mexico’s crime wars.[20] These bloody episodes are partularly acute during the chage of sexenio electoral cycle including the post-election transition of power.[21] While the immediate impact of this assassination is unknown it likely portends a chaotic transition between the presidential administrations as the criminal netwrks seeks to recalibrate thir influence the changes among CDS leadership may also become a factor.[22] Indeed it is unknown which of these groups is involved in this incident the battle between the criminal cartels and the state continues Ximena Arochi, “Se perseguirá a
