Officials investigate latest Tijuana killing spree; six bodies dumped
Officials investigate latest Tijuana killing spree; six bodies dumped

TIJUANA – Mexican authorities are investigating the slayings of six men whose bodies were found dumped around Tijuana yesterday.
The latest killing spree follows the discovery of seven dumped bodies Friday night and Saturday morning. One of those victims was a Mexican federal
police investigator.
Drug groups often are behind such killings, and the recent surge of dumped bodies comes about a month after U.S. authorities arrested suspected drug
cartel leader Francisco Javier Arellano Félix and other suspected members of the region's Arellano Félix cartel.
Some U.S. and Mexican investigators say the Arellanos are going after rivals and people who have betrayed them. A note left near one group of bodies
found last week indicated they were killed for being traitors.
Yesterday, the bodies of three men who had been shot in the head were found about 1 a.m. in the La Presa section of the city, according to a statement
from the state Attorney General's Office.
Two of the dead were identified as Ulises Abel Lopez Cota, 25, and Flavio Alcala Salinas, 30. The other man's identity was unknown.
Later in the day, about 2 p.m., the bodies of three unidentified men were found in mud and trash in a section of Colonia Rio Alamar. The bodies showed
signs of being hanged, Mexican authorities said.

I would hope that Mexican authorities place as much emphasis and use as many resources to help stop what has been happening to motorists and others on
the transpeninsular as they do solving these apparent drug related deaths.

I really hope not, 98% of all drug murders are never solved.

98% is probably right on. probably because the police don't want or don't care to solve crimes. probable still is because the police are part of the
problem because of their corrupt ties to drug famalies.
