Netflix's 'Narcos' Location Scout Shot, Killed on the Job in Mexico
A location scout for Netflix's hit show "Narcos" was shot and killed this week while working in Mexico ... this as the upcoming season shifts its focus to Mexican drug cartels.
Carolos Muñoz Portal was found shot to death Monday in central Mexico during location scouting for season 4 of "Narcos." He was reportedly found riddled with bullets in his car in a remote area near Hidalgo, which is known to have one of the highest murder rates in Mexico.
Netflix issued a statement saying ... "We are aware of the passing of Carlos Muñoz Portal, a well-respected location scout, and send our condolences to his family." Police are currently investigating the circumstances of Portal's death.
The new season of Narcos is expected to focus on the origins of the Juarez cartel in Mexico, and filming was supposed to go down there as opposed to Colombia where past seasons were shot.
Unclear if Portal's death will derail production.
Pablo's brother came out and said that Netflix's should hire hitmen to be the security when they film in Colombia and Mexico.

I think they would have failed big time if they would have tried to recreate the Pablo type of story with Cali. Pablo was one of a kind, so it made sense that they would focus more on him personally. The story of the individuals in the Cali cartel would not be nearly as interesting, so they went in a different direction. I think it was a smart move because this season was excellent.Finally finished da season, it was a great season no doubt. But it could be been even greater.
With Pablo they took their time, not only building da story a d chase of Pablo but showing his personal side his family life his homes, his political aspirations and how much it meant to him.
With Cali, they got a 2 kin blurb about their businesses n then Str8 on to the chase. They never really gave us a chance to develop a bond with them. Ep 5 I think when they caught Gilberto, he got 2mins about his 3 wife's n dats it he caught at home. That shldve been a few episodes showing his home life wit each bish and kids. N then actually showing us at his business meetings at their bank they owed and pharmacy company.
We got cheaper out of that, this season was jus a rush chase season and we got cheaper out of the details that made season 1 and 2 fun and what made narcos different. It showed us things no other documentary or wiki page has gone into details about. Shoot even da henchmen for Pablo got more side stories n screen time then Cali cartels.
