Rodolfo Herrero was a Mexican military officer, noteworthy for his participation in the Mexican Revolution of 1910 to 1920. He is generally believed to be the officer responsible for the death of President Venustiano Carranza. In early 1920, Herrero was a rebel commander subordinate to General Manuel Pelaez. However, in March 1920, he surrendered to Carranza s forces under the promise of amnesty and he was allowed to keep his rank of General. In May 1920, Carranza s government collapsed under pressure from forces supporting Álvaro Obregón.
