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 vehicle after 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.

ReplyDeleteIran 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.
11:07 what motherfucking taxpayerxs money? It is all on the lender's card, the coming US Bankruptcy will take care of that.
DeleteThe 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.
better than giving our taxpayers money to ukraine you dumb hoe.
DeleteIran 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.
DeleteComplete garbage. She shouldn’t be in the US to begin with. If she recovers, she should be immediately deported and her assets seized by the US government.
ReplyDeleteFuck the lot of them and leave mexico to its own devices,they are not worth it..
DeletePero ayandan de calientes.
ReplyDeletePublic security officers need to stay in the station or barracks and not have wives of children, at least not with them in the car, and not be alone anywhere, just in case.
You can imagine that by the time the high profile terrorism is on, the numbers have been around to support the takeover for awhile now. Strategic devaluing of Tecate altogether.
ReplyDeleteBB has become a blog of bitter little losers crying over everything ?
ReplyDeleteIt's so hot in Mexicali this time of year that getting riddled full of holes by gunshots is the only way to stay cool 🥵
