Two armed assassins entered a restaurant and killed officer Edgar Pérez de la Peña, 38, who was thehead of the Municipal Police Special Operations, under the command of the State Police.
The events were recorded on video, Friday afternoon at the La Mariscada de Richie, located on Avenida Aldama, where he was attacked as he was dining with his family.
The shooting took place in the city of Cuauhtémoc, one of the most violent cities in Chihuahua, where cartels continue to fight over drug trafficking routes to the northern border.
The two gunmen can be seen entering the restaurant, acting very suspicious from the onset. They grabbed a menu, and sat themselves in the table directly adjacent to the victim. Oddly, the victim sat with his back to the door, rather than in direct view of the entry, to survey who enters and their actions.
