Former D.O.J. Special Agent Steve Duncan describes David Barron and his Assassin [35:19-40:25]

So that you're not standing out, you're not a 50 footer, you know, you're not drawing attention to yourself. And he tried to wash those gang habits out of the gang members, which is really hard to do. And so a lot of them got into trouble doing that, and David would give them an opportunity to get the hell out. Sometimes you just kill them. You think you're a badass, you want to go against the rules, let's go. Let's fight it out, let's shoot it out. A lot of different stories about David. He was a crazy person, but he led by example, and these guys are really loyal to him. A real quick like Steven, and all the pictures that he looked at, he looks like David's pretty well built, man. It was physically fit like a bench press of Volkswagen, or he just looks that way. David was a diminutive. He was probably 5556. There were times in his life where he was sucked up when he was using drugs. And there were times in his life when he was working out. And he was also using steroids. So he was very much into his image. I don't think he was overly built, but he was crazy. If you pissed him off, you were dead. And I heard story after story after story about the guy. You know, many of the guys that we approach to testify or to work as informants against him were just definitely afraid of him. And you know, it was real tough to crack him because he was still out there and alive and working for the Adianos and having all that power behind him. We have a question from Donald Betas. Basically, I know this show is about Logan Heights. We're talking about those assassins, but there's one that also stands out from Del Sol. We got Albert Marquez, aka bat or ding bat. Can you tell us? I know he was very close. He's a member of the Mexican mafia. He's currently incarcerated in Colorado at ADX. But can you tell us his role in Tijuana and how he got there? David basically did him a favor. You know, that was kind of out of control. He was a user. He was wild, untamed. But, you know, he did, he put in his work for them, for the Mexican mafia. And since he was a brother and since he, you know, raised his hand for David, when bat got out of jail, when bat was out of jail in the 90s, he worked with David and was protected by David. You know, they tried to wash the prison out of that and they tried to wash that attitude and that, you know, just his look. You know, because, you know, you could see that guy was a thug a mile away, you know. And so, he had guys try to wash the prison out of him and he protected him because bat was a drug user. He was, he was crazy, untamed, again, like I said. And David would try to put him with individuals that would socialize him. And not everybody like working with that because he was reckless and careless and drug addicted and, you know, always high. But he had David there to protect him. And so David protected him as long as he could, as long as he was alive. And then once David died in 1997, Gustavo Rivera, David's compadre took him in and protected him and let him work for him. But that was. Go ahead. Go ahead. No, that was a 1% or as far as Southern California goes as far as the prison system goes. But in a structured environment, working toward drug cartel at that level, he was a liability. Steve, for whatever reason, people here in America think believe that every Mexican cop is dirty, every Mexican cop is on the take. But I'm here to tell you, and I know that you know this for a fact that there are so many great Mexican cops that are clean, that are there, and that truly believe that they can make a difference. And with that said, here's one right here. Well, say Luis Pepe Patinho Moreno. He was a director of federal public ministry came from Mexico City to clean up not only law enforcement, but to take into custody the Adianos. I never had a chance to meet with him. I had heard a lot about him at the time. You got a chance to work with him. This guy is a true Mexican hero. And I've heard during your presentations, I've heard you talk about him. Do you mind telling our audience who this Mexican hero was?
