Public Intel Free Press/Addy Adds EXCLUSIVE:
Mexican Drug War reporter, OG Shadow, a prominent figure in independent media, has been confirmed to be alive. Previously thought missing since late 2023, it is now known that he is incarcerated, a victim of betrayal by someone he deeply trusted. This turn of events, revealed in a phone call with Public Intel Free Press on December 9th, 2023, adds a harrowing chapter to his already remarkable story.
Born in the United States and raised partly in Mexico, OG Shadow's life took a dramatic turn when he became involved with drug cartels at a young age, a common path for many Mexican male youths faced with limited opportunities and often no choices.
His experiences in this underworld provided him with rare insights, which he later used to forge a new path as a journalist. He gained notoriety for his courageous reporting from the heart of Mexico, shedding light on the brutal realities of the Mexican Drug War.
His transition from a cartel member to a respected journalist was marked by several harrowing experiences, including being shot in the face. Despite these challenges, he successfully distanced himself from his past in the cartel, driven by the desire to create positive change in Mexico.

OG Shadow's work often put him in danger, culminating in his current predicament. This recent betrayal is a stark reminder of the risks inherent in his line of work, where trust is a precious commodity.
Despite these daunting circumstances, OG Shadow remains a pivotal figure in the realm of public intelligence. His commitment to unveiling the truth about cartel operations and their impact on society has not waned. In a recent development, there are plans for him to conduct a Skype/Zoom call from prison in the near future. This planned call is eagerly anticipated by his followers and colleagues, as it promises to shed more light on his current situation and his continued efforts to report on critical issues from behind bars.
OG Shadow's story is not just about the dangers faced by journalists in conflict zones, but also about resilience in the face of adversity. His life, marked by both personal and professional battles, serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of speaking truth to power.
His incarceration, following the betrayal in December 2023, is yet another obstacle in his relentless pursuit of justice and transparency. Shadow hopes to broadcast a Skype/Zoom call from prison in the near future as a symbol of his undiminished spirit and commitment to his cause, even in the most challenging circumstances.
OG Shadow's journey underscores the complexities of reporting on drug cartels and the often unseen human cost of this perilous profession. His story continues to resonate, serving as a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by those who dare to expose the truth.
