#1 Federale Assassinated in DF


"Edgar Millan Gomez, 42, was the third-ranking member of Mexico's Public Safety Secretariat, which oversees law enforcement. Two other high-ranking federal security officials have been shot in the past week in Mexico City.

A college-educated professional with 20 years of law enforcement experience, Millan Gomez was precisely the kind of man President Felipe Calderon is counting on to rebuild Mexico's tarnished and ineffective police forces.

He was shot eight times after arriving at his home in the Guerrero district of central Mexico City about 2:30 a.m. on his return from work.

Police sources told the newspaper El Universal that the so-called Sinaloa Cartel was believed to be behind the attack. The cartel is one of several organized crime groups that have grown rich transporting Colombian cocaine, locally manufactured methamphetamines and other illicit drugs to the United States.

On May 1, Millan Gomez held a news conference in Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state, announcing that 12 suspected hit men working for the Sinaloa cartel had been detained a day earlier after a shootout with police and army soldiers.

At the time of his death, Millan Gomez was acting director of Mexico's Federal Preventive Police, one branch of the nation police forces."
