Early life and background
José González Valencia, also known by his alias "El Chepa", "Camarón" (English: Shrimp), and "Santy", was born in Aguililla, Michoacán, Mexico. Other sources cite his real name as José María González Valencia and his alias "El Chema". According to his Bolivian ID card that was issued to him under the fake name Jafett Arias Becerra, he was born on 18 May 1975. His parents were J. Abigael González Mendoza (father) and Estela Valencia Farías (mother). According to the Mexican government, the González Valencia clan was made up of 18 siblings. The males are Abigael, José María, Arnulfo, Ulises Jovani, Elvis, Édgar Edén, Mauricio, Gerardo, José and Luis Ángel. The females are Rosalinda (also known as Rosalía), Noemí, Berenice, Marisa Ivette, María Elena, Érika and Abigaíl. People in their hometown nicknamed the clan "Cuinis" in reference to a squirrel (spermophilus adocetus) from the area that is known as "Cuinique". It is common for this squirrel to have over a dozen babies each time the mother gives birth.
