The discovery of Camarena's kidnapping and murder lead to Operation Legend, one of the largest DEA homicide investigations in history, and Gallardo and his cohorts Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo and Rafael Caro Quintero were declared the main suspects. Fonseca and Quintero were both quick apprehended, but Gallardo managed to evade the DEA for four years, until he was arrested in Mexico on April 8, 1989.
He managed to still run his empire from prison before he was relocated to a maximum security facility in Mexico. Now 72, Gallardo still remains in federal penitentiary in Morelos, serving out the remainder of his 37-year sentence.
