Zeta Investigations and Cortesia La Paz, Baja California Sur Even when initially the rumor ran of the execution of Damaso Lopez Serrano "El Mini Licenciado", in the seaside Boulevard in this Capital, the Expert Services Department of the State Attorney General, prepared studies of fingerprints and forensic photography and determined that the identity of the man murdered on the morning of April the 5th was not a boss of the Sinaloa Cartel. Expert studies, based on tissue sampling from a close family member of the victim, proved that it was Giovanni Lopez Beltran Audencio "El Hector", one of the 18 gun men that allegedly had participated on the night of the 31st of July 2014, in the assassination of Esteban Espinoza Velazquez "El Pantera", chief of security of Damaso Lopez Serrano "El Mini Lic" and Damaso Lopez Nunez "El Licenciado", occurred on kilometre 8.4 of the highway La Paz to Los Planes. The victim, identified in the last crime map as " a criminal cell of Ismael El Mayo Zambada", by both Military and Federal Authorities, at first glance did not physically seem to fit the Sinaloa Mafia image, not in his height or color of skin, nor build or physical traits. Only the closed beard is similar, said one of the experts who participated in the identification of the criminal, about the comparison between the victim and the most recent photo of "El Mini Lic".  According to the Director of Public Security, State Preventative Police, and Municipal Transit Police of La Paz, around 04:20 am they received a report of gunfire in El Malecon between 16th of September and Agustin Arriola almost opposite a bar identified as "La Tribu"( previously the jungle). The Police went to the scene, and their first observation was an apparent R.T.A between two vehicles, one colored black and one colored white, the last had crashed into a street light. The first car, a black Honda Civic with circulation plates of 919PMW-2, which had had an impact on the left hand side, and the second a white Chevrolet Malibu model 2014 with circulation plates of CZM-79-77. The security agents, found various spent cartridges within an 8 metre radius, a 9mm pistol, and in the interior of the white Chevrolet Malibu a dead man. The victim according to the report, was wearing a blue shirt with orange on it, jeans, and black shoes and his stature was that of 1.80 metres in height, regular complexion, short hair and padlock beard. Almost in front of the vehicle was a Second Seargeant of Cavalry of the Third Military Zone, Mario Silvestre Yunka, who asked for help because he was hurt, close by sitting on a wall was his girlfriend who also had a bullet wound. The Ambush  The State Authorities, Federal and Military, according to the latest crime map, have identified her a head of a new armed wing of "El 28" in La Paz, who assumed the role that had previously been occupied by the following. * Cruz Alonso Lozoya Uriate "El Grande", who's been exiled out of State.(Otis: see link to article on El Grande) * Victor Barraza Martinez "El Victor" or "El Vidal", captured on the 28th of November 2014 in La Calle Gilberto Mendoza in the Reforma Colonia of La Paz.(Otis: see link to article on Martinez) * Juan Antonio Martinez Rosas "El Furby", detained on the 22nd of December 2014, in a house marked number 223 Calle Terranova, in the Terranova Sur Colonia of La Paz.(Otis: see link to article on his capture) The woman, 31 years of age, and originally from La Paz, together with Raul Castillo de la Rosa "El Cochi", and Boss of Sicarios of "El 28" in Los Cabos, the person most sought after at this time by State Authorities, Federal and Military, who according to an Agent of the PGJE, " has a wide network of corruption and protection within the Directorate of Public Security and Municipal Traffic Police of La Paz", allowing him to be elusive and difficult to capture. The criminal links with the local Police are with Manuel Arce Delgadillo, and the tactics of attack employed by "La China", according to the investigative Agent are so effective that they have allowed her to do well in killings in the last few months. However , according to an investigative agent, she has already be identified in at least nine crimes, where her face and physique has been recorded in some Closed Circuit TV Cameras, and whose images have allowed the Authorities of the three levels of Government to review and analyse the modus operandi of this female thug. The last one was just on the Malecon in La Paz, where according to testimony of "El Hectors" girlfriend, he was ambushed and killed by "La China" and two of her hit men. The Nurse who was walking along the broad walk, "when we went to the bar "Las Veritas", and walked down an alley, turning left towards the bar "El Tribu", where we would pick up my cousin who was at the bar, but on the way there, I asked another cousin if he could pick her up, because I wanted to go home. The girlfriend of the criminal boss said they passed right by the bar where there was a woman who was falling down drunk, with her skirt nearly up to her back, so I told my boyfriend to wait, let me give some water to this girl, so we did and got her to a parking lot beside the bar "El Tribu". The woman related that after a short while they couldn't see the drunk woman, when she noticed the approach of a subject, thin complexion, tall,white skin, black short hair, a pink shirt and blue jeans, he moved closer to us, moved his hand from behind his back and he had a black pistol in his hand". "It appeared to me a 9mm pistol, this is because my brother is an agent with the Federal Police, and I am accustomed to see firearms that my brother carries, I saw the subject point at my fiancé and fire two shots at him, I was stunned, my boyfriend accelerated the car away already hurt advancing rapidly until we crashed into a pole that is on the sidewalk of El Malecon", she explained. The woman said that when they crashed, se intended to leave via the door, but she couldn't, so she climbed through the window so she could open the drivers door to check her boyfriend, she immediately opened his shirt to assess his wounds and render first aid. This was when, according to the girlfriend, "I saw a there was another car close, colored white and red. I'm not sure but it was a Cherokee with big rims, it was the same guy in the passenger seat, we shouted "Abranse a la verga", and I saw he was ready to shoot again, so I ducked and covered my head, then I heard him fire two more shots and they left". La China  The woman that allegedly had been in the vehicle that morning, which drove up on "El Hector's" vehicle was identified as Gabriela Hulzar Lopez "La Gaby", who according to investigating Agents, is in charge of locating and bringing victims to the criminal cell of "La China". What has puzzled investigators in the case is how the head of Sicarios knew that "El Hector" would be there at that point at that time, how she sent a hook to make him stop, so that they could attack him, well according to the girlfriend, just when they stopped out of nowhere the gunman appeared and opened fire, and the drunk woman we helped had disappeared. The only people who knew they would pass this point were the two cousins and the girlfriend of the criminal boss, the two cousins were identified as Marcos and Edgar Navia.

Even though the Second Sergeant of the Cavalry of the Third Military Zone, Mario Silvestre Yunka, and his girlfriend, Teresa Andrade Cabrera, whose resulting wounds from the attack, denied having gone over to the vehicle of "El Hector", but suspicion was hanging over them, with gunshot wounds to the right groin and left arm respectively. The couple said after giving their testimony " we were passing through that place when the attack happened and we were injured. Since then an according to the Police investigation, " no one could have gotten hurt if they were not close to the victim. Most witnesses said they saw a chinese woman behind the wheel, and who subsequently was fully identified, when he was shown a photograph of her face and physique. The black vehicle owner, who collided with the car of "El Hector" who had blacked out then crashed into his car, then the street light, said he wanted to get off to claim, after the clash, and saw a bloodied woman in tears climb out of the car and ask for help, he watched a woman in the Cherokee, he turned to look when a man said "quitate a la verga", (otis: this roughly translates as die you fuck, the literal translation means take off the dick). "I turned and saw that woman but took it of no importance because a lot of people had already approached from the surrounding bars, and when I unlocked my phone to call for an Ambulance, I heard some gunfire, so I ran to the beach and turned to see what was happening because I was very scared that something would happen to me", he said.

| Correction: Murdered deported migrant story, was not quite as it seemed… Posted: 16 Apr 2015 10:55 PM PDT
We pride ourselves at Borderland Beat on posting stories that are from good sources, and look for a secondary source if warranted. We also are not above admitting to an error. This post from "Think Progress", featured Constantino Morales. Morales was a deportee who warned that he would be killed if deported, and shortly after his arrival back in Guerrero, his prediction became reality and he was killed. Feeling uneasy about the story, I contacted DD sharing that the story did not feel right, that there was zero information about the manner or place of death. Saying he died in Guerrero was too vague, yet that was the only information the publication provided.  DD shared my concern and wrote to the Iowa newspaper that ran the story. I continued researching regions of Guerrero using his name, and found nothing. Then today a reader sent an article from a regional news outlet telling the complete and truthful story. That post is republished below. It is sad that stories such as this will give fodder to those who are against immigration and have distain for migrants, the large majority of migrants are good, hardworking, honest people. We regret posting the story, but I hope readers can respect the fact we are making the correction with this update. Borderland Beat Administrators Chivis and DD Story from la Lider By Francisco Javier Hernandez Azoyu, Guerrero Translated by DD Huehuetán Deja A Tres Personas Muertas; Convivían Entre Sí" (Shootout in Huehuetán kills three; they had been partying), Radio La Lider 88.9 reported on a drunken shootout at a baptism party that resulted in three gunmen dying.

The events happened at approximately at 9:00 in the evening, at the home of Bertha Tapia Javier, which is located very close to the Health Center, where the three people who were killed had been drinking ,and gotten into a heated discussion giving rise to to them drawing their firearms, , leaving a toll of three dead. The victims were Constantine Morales Roque, 42 years of age; Ruperto Javier Marín, 57, and his brother Juan Javier Marín, 62, all of them residents of the town of Huehuetán, belonging to the municipality of Azoyú. After they talked awhile the three men got into a heated discussion and Morales accused the Javier Marin brothers of an gunning down a member of his family in a pool hall last October. That triggered the gun battle in which Morales mortally wounded the brothers, but they shot back and gravely injured Morales. A nephew of the Javier Marin brothers who had not been involved in the argument rushed into the gunfight to avenge his uncles and mortally wounded Morales before fleeing the scene. Morales was shot 11 times with 9mm bullets. One of the shots hit him in the chest, 5 in his right side, three in the right arm, and two in his left arm. Ruperto Javier Marín was hit in the chest, abdomen and one of his feet, while his brother John had two bullets in the abdomen.

| Tijuana: Narcocomeduista 'El Chore' executed Posted: 16 Apr 2015 04:13 PM PDT 'El Chore' murdered Another murder, in a wave of executions and account settling leaves Edgar 'El Chore' Ruiz dead. The retail narco cell leader was killed by members of a rival cell, allegedly for selling weapons to a third rival cell. This exemplifies the murky and shifting world of retail drug dealing in Tijuana. 'El Chore' name remains unknown, he was a operator of a retail drug cell in Tijuana. He remains nameless in life and death, another link in the machine of crystal and death in the slums of the border city.  The men arrested for the murder of 'El Chore' appeared in a press conference several days ago, as investigators and Organized Crime task force spokespersons explained the details surrounding the murder. Their names are Roberto Enrique Garcia Hidalgo, 'El Gordo', 33, Luis Ivan Corona Velez, 'El Chuco', and Mario Pacheco Francisco Mendoza. 'El Chore' was found dead April 8th, last week in Canyon De Los Carretes, in Colonia Nuevo Milenio. 'Gordo' revealed that their bosses, known only through nicknames, of the 'Billi' and 'Chino' ordered the murder, alleging 'Chore' was selling guns to rival cells, specifically an Ak-47 and a shotgun. 'Gordo' and his accomplice lifted Chore, and took him to the house of Luis Ivan Corona, and began to interrogate him. He was of course, bound then beaten, tortured, and questioned regarding the weapons sales, and the interrogators claimed he contradicted himself, and was lying. He was struck in the face repeatedly with a blunt object, towards the end. Eventually, 'Billi' passed a knife to 'Gordo', and he finished the job. As 'Chore' lay lifeless, and blood stained, 'Billi' and 'Gordo' took the body to the house of Mario Pacheco Mendoza, a 41 year old native of Culiacan, Sinaloa, who was a drug customer of the two. A crystal meth addict, who would help them dispose of the body, by burning it. He was paid in crystal, and small sum of money. This is a days work in the world of retail drug trafficking in Tijuana, life is cheap, and bought with crystal. Work is bloody and profits aren't what they appear, to the soldiers and kidnappers of the cells. The charred corpses stain the streets, the press conference cameras flash, the singed flesh fills their nostrils…it goes on. Sources: AFN Tijuana, Zeta Tijuana.  | ||
