Taza was revealed to be the one who killed Riz in order to protect the club from a potential war with the Vatos Malditos.
In the TV series “Mayans M.C.,” which is a spin-off of “Sons of Anarchy,” Taza (played by Raoul Max Trujillo) is a member of the Mayans Motorcycle Club’s Santo Padre charter. Throughout the series, Taza is portrayed as a loyal and respected member of the club. However, in a shocking twist, it is revealed that Taza had a secret past with the rival gang, Vatos Malditos.
The conflict arises when it is discovered that Riz (played by Antonio Jaramillo), another member of the Mayans, was killed. Initially, it was believed that Riz died due to injuries sustained during a conflict with the Vatos Malditos. However, as the story unfolds, it is revealed that Taza had actually poisoned Riz, leading to his death.
Taza’s motive for killing Riz was to prevent a full-blown war between the Mayans and the Vatos Malditos. He believed that Riz, who was advocating for retaliation against the Vatos Malditos, would lead the Mayans into a war that they could not win. Taza’s history with the Vatos Malditos and his love for a former member of that gang played a significant role in his decision to take such a drastic step.
The revelation of Taza’s actions creates a complex situation within the club, as it goes against the Mayans’ code and the trust they place in each other. The club must then grapple with the consequences of Taza’s betrayal and decide how to handle the situation, which threatens the unity and moral fabric of the Mayans M.C.
