Guillermo Beltran was a security representative for the Guerrero Cartel with who Vic Mackey got associated to take him down for drug trafficking, investigation taken over by ICE agents.

Season 7[]

Vic wants to take Beltran in single-handedly and wants to stay relevant to the ICE investigation. But before that (''Party Line''), Mackey warns Aceveda to step away from it because it is not for his paper pushing style league and Beltran would not fear him, also intimidating and reminding David about the rape picture. When Pezuela has a meeting with a new associate (Beltran), Mackey interrupts them shortly until Aceveda also shows up, both of them uninvited. David tells Cruz that he no longer gets a say in his campaigns, and that he will do it with or without his money. Cruz is angered by Aceveda's defiance and tries to make an impression in front of Beltran by telling David that he owns him and will do exactly as he is told. David makes it clear that Cruz is an empty suit for him and they have a brawl. Aceveda's gun aimed to his head making it clear that he is not influencing his campaign anymore. Pezuela shows his weakness during the assault and later Beltran wants Vic to eliminate him to prove that a cop washes off from him. Eventually the events lead Mackey staging Cruz's death in exchange for giving back Olivia Murray's blackmail file. Ensured that Pezuela is dead for Beltran, Vic secured his position to give police information to Beltran moving his drugs securely.

After Vic finds out what Beltran is moving in huge quantities (drugs), he is orchestrating a middleman deal between the blacks (''Petty Cash'') to buy their cartel cocaine to link and lure out Beltran and arrest him with the drugs. However, that plan goes south when Beltran himself does not show up and decides to shorten the blacks on the quantity of how much they paid for.(''Family Meeting''). ICE arrests everybody else for containment. Ronnie thinks that the immunity deal Vic got for them against the crimes they committed (allegedly) is off the table now but it was in ironclad. Vic tracks Beltran back to his secure warehouse and tries to take him on with only Ronnie helping to distract Beltran's security to walk away from him. Two of his men die during the shootout and Guillermo gets shot in the shoulder by Mackey, Aceveda already gave notice to Olivia to track down both of them to get away from potential harm's way, finalizing Councilman Aceveda's speech for the reporters of leading this investigation in the first place which would help him in his run for mayor.
