A Tijuana Municipal police agent was executed this morning while he was exiting his home on his way to work. The agent was identified as Juan Jauregui Ruvalcaba, He was currently commissioned at the Los Pinos district.
At the same time of his execution, two narco-banners where hung, one in the "Puente America" bridge and another one near the crime scene, both read:
"Esto le pasa a la gente de La Rana"
"This is what happens to La Rana´s people"
Meanwhile, Tijuana´s Public Safety Director, Alejandro Lares Valladares, mentioned they already "have a clue" they will follow, he also mentioned the "fallen officer" will be honored by the corporation.
An early version claims the agent was just getting out of his home when he was attacked from behind, it looks like the Tijuana police already has a suspect under custody who, apparently, fills in with the description of the attacker.
Jauregui Ruvalcaba had close to 8 years in service.
Tijuana´s Public Safety Office confirmed the agents death by a shot to the back of his head, Alejandro Lares assured the officer died for doing his duty and mentioned proper honours would be held.
