Tijuana Sees Hostage Killing and Daytime Car Shooting as Police Track Suspects by Camera

State authorities now lead the key homicide probe.

Overview

  • In Zona Centro, two captives tried to flee a rental room; one man was shot dead and another, identified as Mauricio, 29, was found tied and injured.
  • Municipal camera monitoring led officers to detain alleged attackers a few blocks from the scene and seize a firearm.
  • Hours later in colonia Tres de Octubre, a man was fatally shot inside a white sedan that hit a house and fell toward a ravine, and the FGE Homicide Unit assumed the investigation.
  • In an unrelated case, officers detained Irving “N”, 30, after an attempted carjacking in Tercera Etapa del Río Tijuana and referred him to state prosecutors with an IPH report.
  • Separately in Santa Fe, Argentina, police detained a 16-year-old and recovered a homemade .22 “tumbera,” and the injured victim was treated at Hospital Cullen and discharged.
