[1] After his boss Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo ordered the brutal murder of his family, Palma set out to avenge them.

Jesús Héctor Luis Palma Salazar was born in Noria de Abajo, Mocorito, Sinaloa, on April 29, 1960.

Clavel forced Guadalupe to withdraw US$7 million from a bank account and later decapitated her and shipped her head back to Palma.

He was traveling from Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, to Guadalajara, Jalisco, when the jet was diverted and unable to locate a new landing strip in time.

[9] After serving nineteen years in the Atwater Federal Prison,[10] Palma was extradited back to Mexico in June 2016, where he was charged with a double murder of police officers in Nayarit in 1995.

[13] The act prohibited U.S. citizens and companies from doing any kind of business activity with him and virtually froze all his assets in the U.S.[14][15][16] Palma had managed to insert himself into the depths of the Mexican Federal Judicial Police (PJF), evading detection by posing as one in complete uniform, with identification, and traveling in a heavily armed caravan of PJF officers.

The men were set free by Judge José Luis Gómez Martínez, who said there was no evidence they were part of any criminal organization.
