Detainees emerge from a restaurant and climb into a Jalisco police armored vehicle marked "Goliat," as security forces maintain a cordon along Avenida México. The transfers follow an operation that left its main suspect hospitalized, according to Mexico's NMás news channel.

Reporter David Acosta says 19 people detained inside the restaurant are being taken to the Fiscalía General de la República, Mexico's federal prosecutor's office. The live footage shows several boarding the vehicle in succession. Acosta says he has seen five come out walking independently, rather than suggesting the broadcast has shown the entire group leave.

According to the report, the arrests followed an exchange of gunfire in the Circunvalación Vallarta neighborhood. Rafael "N," known as "R2," was injured and taken separately to a private hospital. An on-screen information card identifies him as the suspected leader of "Los R5," a cell of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, commonly known by its Spanish initials, CJNG.

The report places the operation in Zapopan, part of the Guadalajara metropolitan area in western Mexico. Army, Navy, federal security and state police personnel are present, with roads temporarily closed in an area containing both homes and businesses.

Acosta relays neighbors' accounts that gunfire lasted roughly five minutes. Residents also tell him the restaurant had been operating for about a month after its facade was remodeled. Those details are presented as local accounts, not established findings about the business.

Security deployments remain at both the restaurant and the private hospital treating Rafael, Acosta reports.
