Enrique “Kiki” CamarenaRed Ribbon Week is the nation's oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program. Red Ribbon Week started after the death of Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who in 1985 was brutally murdered by drug traffickers he was investigating in Mexico.
During this special week, I pay tribute to DEA Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena. His dedication and sacrifice in the fight against drug trafficking serve as a poignant reminder of the bravery and commitment of law enforcement officers. Camarena's legacy continues to inspire efforts to combat the devastating impact of drugs on communities. Remembering him highlights the importance of ongoing support for those who risk their lives for public safety.
U.S. DEA agent Enrique Camarena was killed by members of the Guadalajara Cartel, a powerful drug trafficking organization in Mexico. His abduction and murder in 1985 were orchestrated by cartel leaders, including Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, in response to his undercover work that exposed their operations. Camarena's death was part of a broader campaign of violence against law enforcement and a chilling warning to others involved in anti-drug efforts.
