Griselda had Dario killed after he left her for another woman and took their son, Michael, with him. The killers pretended to be police officers.

Two of Griselda’s former associates, ex-drug trafficker Max Mermelstein and former hitman Jorge ‘Rivi’ Ayala, confirmed this to authorities.

Mermelstein said that Dario taking their son was the last straw for Griselda. She arranged the assassination, which happened in front of their son, Michael.

After his father’s death, Michael returned to the United States to live with Griselda in Irvine, California.
