"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

On Wednesday afternoon, an alleged drug distributor nicknamed "El Choringo" was shot outside his home located in the San Marcos neighborhood.


The victim was shot four times in the chest and, although his relatives transferred him to receive medical attention to a private clinic, hours later he died.


Later and after a series of operations, PDI agents captured three of the hitmen.
The fatal victim was identified as Rafael, alias "El Choringo", 45 years old.


The bloody events were recorded at 5:40 p.m. on Pueblito Street near the corner of David Reynoso Street, in the San Marcos neighborhood.


It was established that the armed attack was perpetrated by three hitmen who were traveling in a gold shaded Nissan Sentra, who caught Rafael outside his home.


The aggressors escaped to Circunvalación Poniente Avenue and, despite the fact that preventive police from the Pocitos Detachment and the Centro area implemented an operation that extended to the north of the city, they failed to find their whereabouts.


Meanwhile, the victim's relatives placed him in the box of a white Chevrolet Tornado pick up.  And transferred him for medical attention at the Guadalupe Clinic, where he was admitted in critical condition. Shortly after 8 p.m. he was pronounced dead. At the scene of the execution, several 40 caliber bullet casings were located.

POLICE LOCATE THE HITMEN


Through the surveillance cameras of the C5 SITEC, the escape route of the hitmen was followed, which allowed, at 7:00 p.m., a group of PDI agents to search a house located on Pascual Cornejo Brun Street, in the Progreso neighborhood, where two individuals suspected of being related to the execution were arrested.


Subsequently, the group of investigative police moved to the Central Bus Station, where they arrested another person involved, who intended to escape to the city of Guadalajara.


As of last night, investigations continued by agents of the Homicide Group of the PDI, staff of the Directorate of Expert Investigation and the agent of the Public Ministry of Hospitals.


It was reported that Rafael, alias "El Choringo," had a criminal record for crimes against health. Likewise, on June 7, 2010, his brother Arturo, alias "El Pájaro", was executed on David Reynoso Street near the corner of Pueblito Street, in the San Marcos neighborhood.


In April 2011, ministerial police managed to capture one of the hitmen who participated in this execution, identified as Manuel Alejandro, alias "El Humen".
