GUANAJUATO, Gto. In two different attacks committed in the early hours of Monday the  director of the Police of Celaya and his escort were assassinated, while in Abasolo a police woman was riddled by bullets at her home in an attack by armed men that left eight dead, with a total of 10 victims in both events, according to the PGR.

Around three in the morning of Monday, an armed group arrived in several vehicles to an address on Allende Street in the Municipality of Abasolo, meters from the towns square, where the municipal police agent along with family members were murdered, according to the initial information. The group began firing towards the house and at those who were inside. Some were able to run towards the street, but were hit by the alleged assassins and killed.



The agent, whose name has not been disseminated, died in the house, as did a teenage son; also inside the house were four other people whom died. Three others who ran outside were hit by the shots and ly in the surrounding streets. Another victim died in the hospital.


Four hours later, in an apparent ambush near his home, the director of the Police of Celaya, J. Santos Juárez Rocha, was attacked and assassinated, along with one of his escorts, identified as Manuel Acosta. Juárez Rocha, originally assigned to the State Security Forces. Manuel Acosta, according to witnesses, passed by daily to pick up his boss and take him to Celaya to work. Juarez Rocha was barely at the helm of the corporation for a year, arriving as a director at the end of last August.

Juarez Rocha had left his home, in the community of Loma de Flores, which belongs to the municipality of Salamanca, a few kilometers from Irapuato. He was aboard an official gray Dodge Ram truck with GP81347 plates along with his escort, and headed to the Control Center and State Command, the C5i, located in the Inner Harbor of Silao, for a meeting with directors and state security officials. 


On Emiliano Zapata  Street of  Colonia Loma de Flores, armed men caught up with him and fired at the vehicle and its occupants.

Neighbors heard the shots about 6:20 am July 31, 30 meters from the house of Director J. Santos Juarez Rocha.

More than 50 shots  marked the front and side of the vehicle, on the driver's side door.


Those responsible fled to Irapuato, so an operation was deployed with corporations of different levels all security forces, "the three levels of government" between Salamanca and Irapuato. In Celaya, the municipal president Ramón Lemus summoned the media  for a press conference shortly before 9:00 am and confirmed the execution of his director of Police.

He said that given the way he was murdered, he will ask for support from the federal and state authorities, and acknowledged the work of the director, saying: "he gave himself in full to his work."

As he has always done when talking about the serious criminal situation in this municipality, the PAN mayor described the situation as "atypical " in this panorama and attributed it to "a national panorama", the situation of insecurity, ie. "I understand that he did have threats" said the municipal president.
.
In two years of the government of  Ramon Lemus, at least 10 elements of the Celayan Police have been assassinated. No suspects have been apprehended.

    2. Theres another factor as well, some dude call EL MARRO. He has been heavy involved in gasoline theft for a few years now. One of the generals in GTO basicly accused the state prosecutor of protecting him recently. He controls like 100 clandestine fuel tomas. He is blamed for a bunch iof people getting killed btween Celaya and Queretaro limits. I think CJNG and the people from El Marro are going to go hard core.

      Fernando Colunga's lover boy "la Pantera Rosa" rafael moreno valle, former Puebla Governor was a PRIISTA all his life, until he ran as a PAN candidate and won, he is said to still control about 2000 illegal clandestine fuel tomas, federal state, municipal police and auacates ain' never seen no illegal oil tankers anywheres all over mexico. But they sure target the people watching them. Say "plomo or petrolio" y no me la hagan de pedo.

  7. Looks like he chose to do the right thing and not be a cartel member.....too bad it cost him his life and he knew what he was getting himself into, so pity or sadness is the last thing the police director would want from anyone, especially his police force.

    3. Honest police commanders need to stay locked under guard at the police station and not "get picked up at the bus corner"
      Also, no checkpoints to lock up the city, no people's AutoDefensas at work, no strategy at all.

  8. Cops and chiefs usually work for a cartel and if onother cartel finds out that they do then they usually get killed if they don't switch. It's known that cops work for cartels and are the most corrupt in Mexico next to politicians. They were not innocent

    1. If you google the story you will see this has been reported on for 10 years. I became aware of the practice by US gov when my work began with Central American migrants after the slaughter of 72 in Tamps. they told me the US dumps them at the international bridge and tells them to march into Mexico. and many were from Central Am. in essence, they were undocumented in the states and dumped into another country where they also are undocumented.

      in doing so cartels are waiting to collect the cream of the crop. those poor souls are forced into narco work, sex trade or slave labor.

    2. "aware of the practice by US gov"
      Its so easy to lay blame at the US yet so many live and make a better life there,i am grateful to the US

    3. Yes, Chivis, but this case involves none of the examples you cite above. It was an old fashioned kidnapping - of a deportee.

      Of course very topical now, with the new enforcement promised by the Trump Administration.

      In a momentary lapse, I forgot to include the link. I'm sure you were able to find the article, but for those who couldn't here it is. It's pretty unusual, if not rare, to have an English language report of a kidnapping in Mexico with such details from family members.

    4. It is illegal for american police departments to release prisoners into a dangerous situation or neighborhod, I don'e see hw it is not illegal to release prisoners into a dangerous environment in mexico and why mexico allows it, the escuse of "point of entry" shiuld not be legal either. I hope when the donal' the Con Don gets arrested he bumps his ample cow head on the squad car.

      It is like the Tsarnaev Brothers, some say they were students of a CIA professor/ agent
      Or the homeless mexican professional deported who killed some young girl in califas with a weapon that belonged to a FBI agent
