María de Jesús Quijada, Morena Councilwoman for Tecate, Baja California, Injured in Ambush

By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat

María de Jesús Quijada, a Morena councilwoman for Tecate, Baja California, was injured in an ambush on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. Quijada remains in critical condition at a San Diego hospital, but her husband died at the scene.

Quijada and her husband were ambushed in the Hacienda subdivision of Tecate by armed men while she was in a black KIA with her husband and daughter, around 5:00 p.m. yesterday. The councilwoman sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head, but her husband Jesús Pereida died in the attack.

Quijada's family told Zeta Tijuana that she is alive, in critical condition with two gunshot wounds to the head. Quijada is being treated at a hospital in San Diego, United States.

Authorities said the attackers fled in a white car, which was located minutes later in the Benito Juárez neighborhood in Tecate. The gunmen threw Molotov cocktails at it, likely to destroy evidence. No motive for the attack has been identified. 

María de Jesús Quijada and her husband Jesús Pereida

Both María de Jesús Quijada and her husband Jesús Pereida held numerous roles within local government. Quijada oversees the Welfare, Water and Energy, Protection of Children and Adolescents committees in Tecate. She also briefly served as interim mayor of Tecate in May 2026 while Mayor Román Cota Muñoz was away on an official trip. 

Jesús Pereida, a lawyer by training, worked on the campaign of Morena Senator Armando Ayala Robles. He also acted as a counselor for the State Human Rights Commission before stepping down to take on the role of Tecate Delegate for the State Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection.

    Iran is not cooperating with US on oil tankers. Iran fired at ships, Trump resumed bombings. Yet what I find hilarious is that Trump will give our taxpayers money to Iran to rebuild was US has bombed.

      The Department Of War Crimes is trying to get 350 billion dollars to tide them through the rest of the year and 1.5 more Trillion dollars for next year, the trump juniors are salivating for their share of the billions along with the rest of trump cabinet stock holding Nouveau Billionaire wannabes while Narko Turbio declares the International crime commission null and void and out of limits and his intent of "dismantling it brick by brick", even Al Capone did not overreach like these Jackass International Pirates of War Crime.

    3. Iran is running circles around Trump and the US. Contrary to reports, Iran's navy is not at the bottom of the ocean. Their regular navy is destroyed but the IRGC navy is 60% functional otherwise they wouldn't be able to block the Straight of Hormuz. Hegseth should have been fired immediately for being too stupid in not planning ahead for the blockage of the Straight. Even Iran was stunned at their success in bringing a world superpower to their knees with a simple cost effective blockage of a waterway. Iran's leaders were killed but so what? They simultaneously attack with missiles several Gulf countries and get away with it - who else does that? Attacking several countries all at once and the US can't stop it? The US continues to bomb Iran but it's changed nothing. It's been a cataclysmic humiliation for Trump, incompetence of the highest order.

      Nice wall of text. What do you mean nothing has changed? You should tell Iran’s leader that nothing has changed. What hasn’t changed is the sheer amount of bots, shills and foreign agitators just continue with paid anti-American propaganda across social media-

      I do love how TDS continues to break the brains of the brainless No matter the topic, something about Trump will be written-

The Iraniums were not even asking for the release of their blockaded funds, the money Obama released to them in pallets were from Iranium's frozen funds, now that the trompos have been defeated in their attempts to subdue them for israilians exploitation, the Iraniums are demanding the release of all their money, that the US leave the area, punishments for the nethanyahoo's Barbarians, International.Crime Court Trials and Judgements and REPARATIONS, fine mess the israilisers DOG WALKED the US "preszihdent" into.

      The money Obama gave Iran was not tax payer money, it was money owed to them by the US for undelivered military equipment dating back to the 70s. Trump, in addition to frozen assets, stands to give Iran 300 billion.

    17. 11:25 the difference between Iranium and Afghanistan is that the afghanis have beat russia with US help and the US with russia help, there is no oil in afghanistan but the Heroin and opium skyrocketed for the US some UN report 9 000% increase, and afghanistan never ran out of mujhaidinos.
      IRANIUM has lots of oil and money stolen from them and Iraniums murdered but just can't run out of drones and bombs and is kicking israeilises arsses all over the muddledeast and their iron dome and David's Sling and has them slipping on their own BS, Iranium also has the israilise's generals on the run, from their own hiuses and military quarters, even BBi sleeps under a burned out car waiting for IDF takeover of full membership in the US Military.

      the war in iraq lasted too long because there was too much money to be stolen, courtesy of a US Congress caught between packs and packs of hundred dollar bills and the war profiteers caught between plane loads and plane loads full of US dollars, while real soldiers had to fight with weapons taped together with bubble gum and duck tapeand welded soda cans on their Humvees for armor.
      War profiteers really got the US Military by the YingYangs and for profit chingaderas.

    1. I hope the violence has come down, seemed to be targeting police and the police in Mexicali were a lot of good people, better than elsewhere. Mexicali is meant to be a nighttime city, it's really not so hot, breezy, but definitely taking siestas and staying out of the sun kind of a place.

  13. Looking at the homicide rates going back a few years, Tecate has had a higher rate than Tijuana. I have seen what's going on with the gangs and the cartel spies, it's impossible to want to be around, but the statistics showing murders localized in Tecate surprised me. It used to be the most cushy little resort. And even when Tijuana was the murder capital of the world, it was still possible to be in the city of Tijuana and experience it as completely liveable with some precautions, alarm at crime scenes, but life continues. Around Tecate, it's all spies and harassment and terrorism, area denial, and also all of these killings. It sucks.
