Borderland Beat

2 human heads were found today at about 7:30 AM near Tijuana´s MacroPlaza mall. The heads were left inside an ice cooler along 2 banners with a message threatening several CDS cell leaders operating in Tijuana under Alfredo Arteaga aka "El Akiles".

The message read as follows:

"SIGUES TU JABAS, MARLON, GRIEGO, JACK, LES VA A PASAR LO MISMO POR CORRIENTES MATA INOCENTES, SE LA VAN A PELAR LA VERGA CON LA GENTE ARELLANO, MEJOR VAYAN Y PIDANLE DINERO A SU PAPI AQUILES PINCHES MUERTOS DE HAMBRE, SI FUERAN TAN VERGAS, SI FUERAN TAN VERGAS ESTUVIERAN AQUI EN TIJUANA. ERES IGUAL QUE TU HERMANO PINCHES NARCOS DEPRIMIDOS. ESTO LE PASARA A TODOS LOS JOTOS QUE ANDEN CON USTEDES. INCLUYENDO AL PERIODISTA IVAN VILLEGAS AL QUE LE PAGAN PARA QUE NO SALGAN LAS BAJAS.

Atte. LOS VERDADEROS DUEÑOS DE LA PLAZA

         EL CAF SIGUE MANDANDO"

Roughly translated as:

"You are next Jabas, Marlon, Griego, Jack, the same is going to happen to you for being cheap innocent killers, you ain´t gonna make it against the Arellano people, you starved motherfuckers better go and ask for money to your daddy Aquiles, if they were as bad as they claim then they would be here in Tijuana. You are the same as your brother, fucking depressed narcos. This is going to happen to all the faggots that hang with you, including news reporter Ivan Villegas whom you pay to not report your losses.

Sincerely THE REAL OWNERS OF THE PLAZA

                 CAF KEEPS RULING"

The heads and message were taken away by the State Atttorney´s Office personnel an hour after the report.

BACKGROUND INFO

Another banner was hung yesterday near the Tijuana Bus Central threatening several criminal for allegedly being responsible of killing a PGJE employee who apparently was the partner of former Ministerial Agent and alleged CAF cell leader Esteban Nides.

The attack in which Itzel Medina(38) was killed was apparently directed against Esteban Nides when they arrived at a junkyard belonging to another former Ministerial Agent by the last name of Cosme, Agent Cosme was arrested 10 years ago leading a criminal cell formed by Police Agents working for Francisco Javier Arellano Felix aka "El Tigrillo".

In the attack several men arrived at the junkyard and began shooting at the people there, those inside, including Nides dropped to the floor to avoid being hit but Itzel was hit in the head before she could do anything. According to some versions, Nides shot back and then jumped the back wall into a neighboring house, he made several cuts to his hands and feet doing this and scared the owner of the house who began screaming asking for help. Nides was subdued by several neighbors and taken to the hospital. Since Nides was a victim of the attack and apparently they have nothing against him, PGJE left him free after he gave his statement, according to witnesses he claimed he "would find those who did this".

ADDITIONAL INFO

Esteban Nides

Esteban Nides has been mentioned as a leader of a criminal cell serving the Arellanos several times before but there´s apparently no investigation or arrest warrant against him. He even gave ZETA an interview some time ago in which he claimed to be a motivational speaker giving speeches against bullying in public schools backed by State Government and by the State Human Rights Commission.

He also claimed owning a Telecommunications Engineering firm dedicated to provide maintenance of systems for the last 10 years or so.

In the interview he explained there was a "misunderstanding" which was already fixed and stated there was no investigation or warrant against him, proof of that was the fact he was still free.
