What is known from the individual alert
The DEA cites 21 USC 846 and has published a photograph, his year of birth (1971) and the alias Poncho Limón. Mexico is listed in the ‘last known location’ field, but this does not confirm a specific current address. [1][2]
The public profile is sparse in content: it does not specify the volume of shipments, the name of the cartel or a detailed biography. This information cannot be added simply because his surname matches that of other individuals involved in Mexican drug trafficking. [1][2]
How to check the status of legal proceedings
The official GovInfo portal contains materials from the federal case USA v. Limon-Sanchez et al., No. 3:14-cr-02128. To determine an individual’s status, it is necessary to consult the specific documents and the defendant’s case number: developments concerning co-defendants in a multi-defendant case do not automatically imply a change in Limón Sánchez’s status. As of the date of this check, the DEA continues to list him as wanted. [1][2]
Verified on 4 November 2026. The status of the case is based on the sources cited; charges and allegations do not constitute a conviction.
