On December 28, the body of a man wrapped in a blanket was located, accompanied by a cardboard containing a written threat, against the head of the Municipal Police of the Cerro Colorado borough in Tijuana along with some of his collaborators.

Narco message reads as follows:

“Roberto Carlos Crespo aka 015 Gral from the Cerro Colorado borough. I need for you to return the 20 kilos of cocaine that you’ve stolen. Just as well I also need the $20,000 that you kept. 

The same goes for your dogs Marco Antonio Vidal Garcia and Hector Dioney Leon Alvarado. You have 2 days to return everything. Otherwise, I’m going to fucking destroy them along with you. 

It does you no good to have them transferred out of this area. We already have each one of you located. Your snitch is lying here dead. This will be the fate of you fucking faggots ass thieves wherever you decide to do dumb shit like extort or steal vehicles”. 

From the Baja California Peace and Security Coordination table, they reported that they are investigating. So far they haven’t found formal or intelligence reports of drug seizures or theft in that area. However, the aforementioned agents have already been denounced by the community for their reckless behavior, the accusations haven’t increased beyond anything serious. 

According to the official report, at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday they received and attended to the report of an abandoned "suspicious" vehicle on Fourth Street and San Pedro Mártir Street in the Loma Bonita neighborhood, which is located within the Cerro Colorado borough.

Municipal Police officers arrived three minutes later, they confirmed the location of a green 1996 Ford Explorer, with license plate # BFR-65-38 from the state of Baja California, parked on the traffic lane.

As the officers approached, they noticed that the engine was still on, as were the lights. When they looked inside the vehicle they found a cardboard on the floorboard and an inert person in the back seat who was covered with a brown and yellow blanket. 

Officers requested the presence of the Attorney General's Office (FGE). When the blanket was removed confirmation was made that there was a deceased male with traces of violence. 

The murdered victim hasn’t been officially identified. And it’s unknown at this time if he has any links with the Municipal Police.

Two days before the end of 2021, the homicide tally in Tijuana stands at 1,914 victims.
