Google's finest effort:
-------------
Spanish to English translation
La Paz, Baja California Sur .- The State Attorney's Office confirmed in a brief press release the death of a ministerial police occurred early Friday,
who responded in the name of life Villela Alberto Rangel, age 27 and who says the director of the corporation, Juan Ochoa, the item was "assigned to
the night guard agents" and at the time of the facts "did not make any special investigation or crime."
Information obtained by The Sudcaliforniano, says the young officer was killed after receiving two bullets in the head by the neck, while he was
dining in a busy taqueria located down the street and Belisario Domínguez Navarro.
The events took place shortly after 3 am, when a strongly built man, apparently a big-car down the street Navarro and went to the dinner table where
the police shooting in the back in neck up to two times the style of execution, and then to flee in a white Cherokee.
Without having any opportunity to defend the body of the victim would have been on the table and in the panic of diners, some of whom were subpoenaed
to testify as part of the investigation conducted by the Office of Justice clarify the facts and finding the person or persons responsible.
The place of crime some media came to cover the event, some of them were attacked by an element of the municipal police, as opposed to ministerial
communicators allowed to carry out their work without interfering with their work and without entering the cordoned area previously.
Initially it was learned that the murder was a prosecutor in the ordinary courts, but as the half past six version was denied by a source whose
identity we reserve the express request, who said that it was a ministerial officer as confirmed in the afternoon.
At press time had not stopped, and the Attorney General also reported on lines of investigation or possible motives for the crime.

Upset and making a statement. You don't need to execute people in a busy public place, you can keep it private.

This is so disheartening. I hope the authorities come down on this fast and hard, make an example that this kind of action has no place in the city
of peace.

Mexicans are acting like pre-WWII Europe as the third Reich spread. Everyone saw the death and violence coming, but they drew an imaginary line in
their heads and hoped it would stop before it came to their country. It didn't stop and this won't either because there is simply nothing to stop it.
It is heartbreaking when they take over a good city and kill it- like they did in Monterrey.

Have to admit that I was mildly surprised to see the one incident involving Vietnamese just outside of Dallas. Maybe Colonel Ky's passing was the
trigger.

Has there been any follow-up reporting on this tragedy? We'd like to know what category this crime falls under. Random violence? Personal payback?
A drug dispute? I guess the point would be to determine if this is an isolated event, or something we can expect more of because of police
involvement with the underworld?

It seems personal on this one, maybe a relationship.

La Paz is really a great place to spend some time in on anyones travels down Baja. Really friendly people there and great places to eat without any
feelings of danger there. Hope the story is correct and nothing more. as I like visiting La Paz. Feel bad for families that have a family member
taken in such a violent manner and also those witnessing it have to deal with what they saw for the rest of their lives, Too BAD!!
By the way have they completed the road work on the bridge ways down Baja to Cabo, as they were doing so many of these last October when I drove my
