Seven Riddled In Under Three Hours
These cases of border violence are highlighted with the murder of another transit officer of Ciudad Juárez.
This article appeared in El Ágora de Chihuahua on August 11, 2008. This translation is rendered as closely as possible to the original wording. (See the orginal article here).
Ciudad Juárez – August 11, 2008 – Within less than three hours, seven men have been executed with bullets and two more have been wounded seriously in this city, including a traffic officer and a teenager.
The traffic officer identified as Rogelio Vargas Lee, along with three other individuals, was mortally wounded at 8:00 in the evening outside his home at Iguala Valley Street and Tenayuca Street front of Technical Secondary School 64.
In the attack by heavily armed commando, a teenager of 12 years by the name of Ricardo Martínez was wounded, who saved his own life by hiding underneath a car, but had to be hospitalized in critical condition.
Rogelio Vargas Lee had already survived a similar attack a month ago, but on that occasion the hitman's weapon jammed and the officer miraculously survived.
For the moment, the crime against the traffic officer is a complete mystery to police agencies, especially since the assassination of the Chief Investigator of the PGJE (Attorney General's Justice Office) that happened this afternoon in Chihuahua.
