Godson of 'El Chapo' turns himself in to DEA at Calexico border

A young man said to be the godson of Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, under pressure amid a bloody power struggle over the powerful Sinaloa cartel, has turned himself in to U.S. authorities at the border in Calexico, Mexican news outlets reported Friday.

Damaso Lopez Serrano, known as “Mini Lic,” presented himself to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the U.S.-Mexico crossing on Wednesday and was then handed over to U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents, an unnamed Mexican government official told the Mexican news wire service EFE.

Mexican authorities had been hunting for Lopez Serrano in neighboring Mexicali, EFE reported.

U.S. authorities did not release any information Friday. There did not appear to be any federal charges filed against him in San Diego, at least any that were publicly available.
