After the announcement that the armed forces were taking control of public security in La Paz and Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, true carnage has been unleashed in the streets.
In the last hours human remains of a person have been found scattered in four points of the capital, as well as four executed, two of them former municipal police.
On Friday, October 27, three executions took place. One in the Aguajitos neighborhood, another at kilometer 7.5 of the Cabo San Lucas - San José del Cabo highway, and the last one in El Zacatal. The last of which was identified as an officer of the Los Cabos Municipal Police recently dismissed for failing the control and trust exams.
Meanwhile, since that Friday night signs were placed denouncing military personnel who had arrested men who are now missing. The message was signed by relatives of the alleged victims.
