On August 1, 2014, Calentana Mexiquense was attacked by a gunman who fired several shots into the studios, located in the Benítez family home; Benítez's 12-year-old child, Juan Diego,[4] was shot and killed in the attack.

[5] Indalecio and his family moved to Mexico City in the wake of the attack, and two months later, they began the process of applying for a concession.

[6] Calentana Mexiquense's status as a pirate made it vulnerable to an eventual confiscation and forced shutdown, which is what happened on October 15, 2015, when representatives of the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT), Federal Police and the Mexican Navy seized Calentana Mexiquense and all of its studio and transmission equipment.

[6] At the time of the seizure, a blind host was on air, and the legal notice served on the station was not read to him.

[7] In the wake of the seizure, Benítez protested outside the IFT's offices; he had already been told that when he got a concession, he would be moving to a new frequency, 96.5 MHz.
