who did hector kill in better call saul
Mike Ehrmantraut Impressed by Mike's work for Pryce, Nacho approaches him with a request to kill Tuco Salamanca, Hector's nephew, because his erratic actions are drawing unnecessary attention to the Salamanca's operations. Mike fears the cartel will find out and kill him. Instead, he fakes an altercation with Tuco that leads to Tuco being imprisoned for assault with a deadly weapon. Hector doesn't object to Tuco spending a small amount of time in prison as a learning experience, but bribes Mike to say the gun was his, which reduces Tuco's sentence. Mike's dealings with Hector make him think Hector suspects he intentionally caused Tuco's arrest, causing Mike to feel uneasy about the safety of his daughter-in-law and granddaughter. He attempts to draw the police into investigating Hector's drug business by causing one of Hector's cargo trucks to crash and stealing the $250,000 hidden inside one of the tires, while leaving the driver tied up by the side of the road. Mike intended for a passer-by to call the police, but finds out from Nacho that when a passing motorist stopped and aided the driver, the driver called Hector. Hector then dispatched a crew to clean up the scene, including killing the good Samaritan so that the drug ring wouldn't be exposed. Mike then prepares to assassinate Hector, but an unseen third party disrupts his plan.
