Gomez was the girlfriend of Irving Guido Toruño, alias "El Gringo", a drug trafficker originally from Nicaragua who ran an operation in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. The two dated for 6 months before El Gringo was murdered in 2017 in what was said to be a revenge killing by a rival operation. After El Gringo's death, Gomez allegedly took over as the leader of his cartel operations.
