Biography[]

Enrique Rafael Clavel Moreno was born in Venezuela, but he later came to Mexico to work as a chauffeur for Guadalajara Cartel boss Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo. After Guadalajara's dissolution, he came to work for the new Tijuana Cartel of Benjamin and Ramon Arellano Felix. In 1989, the Arellano Felix brothers sent him to infiltrate Sinaloa Cartel lieutenant Hector Luis Palma Salazar's family and seduce his wife Guadalupe Leija Serrano. After convincing her to withdraw $7 million from one of Palma's bank accounts, Clavel beheaded her and sent her head to Palma in a box. Two weeks later, he killed his children Hector (age 5) and Nataly (age 4) by throwing them off a bridge in Venezuela. Palma retaliated by sending his men to kill Clavel while he was in prison.
