drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and loved flaunting pictures of himself posing with Al Pacino and other celebrities was bumped off along an industrial stretch near Los Angeles, authorities said.

Eduardo Escobedo, 39, was one of two men killed Thanksgiving morning along Towne Avenue in Willowbrook, Calif., according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The other victim was convicted drug pusher Guillermo De Los Angeles Jr., 47, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Escobedo was nicknamed "El Mago," which translates to "The Magician." Once the cartel’s top marijuana trafficker, he served four years and nine months in a federal lockup for conspiring to distribute more than 10,000 kilos of pot — about 22,000 lbs — and laundering drug proceeds. He was released in 2018.

Escobedo and De Los Angeles died at the scene after sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of shots being fired in the industrial area filled with warehouses. A third man was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening gunshot wounds.He was not identified.
