2 Baja police agents among those slain

TIJUANA – Police across Tijuana were on high alert as the region's
continuing violence claimed 14 lives yesterday, including two state
police agents, two victims who were decapitated and four apparently
shot while walking.

The first Baja California state agent, Marco Cárdenas Carrasco, was
killed about 8:30 a.m. yesterday while driving near the intersection
of two major boulevards in eastern Tijuana.
Shortly after 3 p.m., Roberto Elizalde, a veteran agent who oversaw
an office in the eastern Mariano Matamoros section, was ambushed on a
major thoroughfare as he left his shift.

Yesterday's decapitated victims, both men, were discovered about 6
a.m. near the Otay Mesa border crossing, their bodies inside large
plastic barrels, and their heads placed on the lids. They were not
identified, but a handwritten message was left: "This is what will
happen to those that hang out with the filthy Arellano Félix." It was
signed la maña, a term for mafia.

About 6:30 a.m., four unidentified male victims were found in Mariano
Matamoros, on the side of a dirt road near a community clinic
attended by dental students. They were between 20 and 25 years old.

Shortly after 5 p.m., two dead men were found inside a vehicle in a
neighborhood west of downtown.

At 7 p.m., in the eastern area of Los Alamos, assailants shot four
men, apparently while they were walking, the Attorney General's
Office reported.

Law enforcement officials say most killings in recent weeks have been
the result of battles among criminal groups seeking control of drug
trafficking in the region

The blare of sirens sounded through the Rio Zone yesterday evening as
police searched for a suspect. But for a moment, a hush fell over a
main artery, Paseo de Los Heroes: Dozens of colorfully garbed
cyclists pedaled through silently, persisting in their routine.

That's terrible.

It's just normal these days- sadly.
