Translated by Yaqui for Borderland Beat from: El Sol de Tijuana

Feb 7, 2018  -  Tijuana, BC :  Between Monday and Tuesday there was  a record of at least 8 violent deaths in Tijuana. The one that most shocked the citizens was the one that was recorded  at 4:00 pm on  Las Fuentes Boulevard, where two men were shot, and a minor was injured.

The reason for the public outcry was because the neighbors were so  moved because two dogs came and huddled with the corpse of one of the deceased, one dog just layed down and the other seemed to be guarding the body.

This incident occurred in the Colonia Cañadas del Florido, the juvenile wounded is 10 years old and had a wound between the back and the shoulder.

The aggressor is presumed to have left a narco manta on an orange card, it is also presumed that he fled in a free taxi. The local authorities confirmed that there was an operation in the area and until Tuesday night, there was no signs of violence.
