Federal Public Security Secretary Genaro García Luna, speaking at a press conference shortly afterwards, identified the individual as José Marc Flores Pereira (aka "Jósmar"), a Bolivian citizen.
•
García Luna also reported that Flores had served prison time in Santa Cruz de la Sierra.

Quintana Roo State Congressman Hernán Villatoro (of the Labor Party) was on board the flight and said, in a radio interview, that the hijacker was carrying a Bible, issued a series of religious prophecies, and warned that President Calderón should not attend the traditional Independence Day festivities in Mexico City's Zócalo on 16 September because of an impending earthquake.

Flores asserted mystical, religious motives for the hijacking, claiming that the date the hijacking took place was 9/9/09, which is the satanic number 666 upside down.
