The objective was "El Pancho" Chacarron, who is the one who brings all the chaos in the area of ​​the chacarrones (garbage dumps)", in Terrazas del Niño.

He gave them 2.23 caliber rifles known as R15. The sicarios were  paid 4,000 Pesos a week.  Some simply "hack" for the criminal group, ie, their sole duty is the act of murdering people.

The criminals knew where their target lived,  they had surveillance cameras and possessed heavy weapons to repel any aggression.

The armed men kidnapped the "employee" in a building next to the train tracks. On the way they ran into a Tijuana municipal police unit that reported them on the radio frequency, seeing several individuals with long weapons in their hands. 

In spite of the numerical inferiority, the officers followed the criminal sicarios for  several minutes , who traveled on board of three vehicles. To prevent their arrest, the criminals opened fire on the uniformed Tijuana Municipal Police.

Shooting started with vehicles rolling through the Colonia. The two policemen waiting for reinforcements bravely confronted the sicarios. Between the food stalls and clothes, the thugs fired on the two agents. One fell dead instantly, while another was severely wounded.

By then, dozens of police elements were already at the site of the confrontation and after a strong exchange of shots managed to shoot down two of the criminals, and capture three more of them.

The criminals deprived the "watchman" of the garbage dump of his liberty, since according to them he knew who and where their bosses were. They took him to where they were "the conectas" when they saw the  municipal police unit coming in their direction.

NOTE: My interpretation of "conectas" is a place where they had electrical torture devices. Feel free to correct me!

This subject managed to escape unharmed thanks to the intervention of police agents.

According to the investigations, someone is above "El Fimbres".

The investigators are trying to establish who is the boss of this criminal cell that has been dedicated to commit "levantones", ie kidnappings  and executions of subjects dedicated to the retail sale of drugs that are  popular  in the Colonias. (Narco menudistas)
