Prostitute, stolen money, led to murder-No drugs and little alcohol in victims system
The man who allegedly shot and killed California city official, Douglas Scott Bradley, on December 28 in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo was arrested in this capital, Guerrero's Attorney General, Xavier Olea said.
The director of Administrative Services in the city of Imperial Beach in California, according to Olea, was reportedly killed after having an argument with a bar worker who he accused of stealing money.
The 50-year-old official would have been in the bar 40-20, where he hired the sex services of a woman named Africa or Keila and with whom he went to a hotel.
However, according to the Prosecutor, Bradley had an altercation with the woman and went back to bar 40-20 denouncing the theft and demanding the return of his money.
At the bar there erupted several altercations by employees of the bar and clients, and when leaving the business he was followed by an individual, who shot to him.
The alleged murderer, identified as Isidro "N" alias "El Chiro", used a .45 caliber pistol to kill his victim, whom he shot at a distance of between three or four meters.
Relatives of the US official picked up his body last Thursday at the premises of a funeral home that serves as the Forensic Medical Service of the Ministry of Health, in Zihuatanejo.
Directly after the murder, Roberto Álvarez Heredia, spokesman for the Guerrero Coordination Group, told the media, that Bradley was on “some type of drug”. His friends, family and boss were adamant about him never using drugs.
And as it turned out, the prosecutor confirmed, that the autopsy toxicology tests affirmed that no drugs were found in the victim’s system, only traces of alcohol.
