Son of Sinaloa cartel figure seeks new legacy after father's death in Los Angeles

Eduardo Escobedo, a former drug trafficker linked to the Sinaloa cartel, was killed in Los Angeles last Thanksgiving. His son, Eddie Escobedo Jr., is now managing the family’s successful hibachi restaurant business while learning about his father's past connections to the cartel. Before his death, Escobedo had transitioned from drug trafficking to running a chain of hibachi restaurants, generating significant income. Despite his efforts to distance himself from his criminal past, questions about his death remain, including whether it was related to cartel activities. In the year since Escobedo's death, Eddie has focused on expanding the family business and plans to share his father's story through a book and potential film. He emphasizes that his father wanted him to avoid the drug trade and live a different life.
