Aldama – August 8, 2008 – The two ministerial police agents who were filled full of holes in downtown Aldama, Chihuahua, were on detachment for two years in Ojinaga.

Just when the Secretary of the Interior, Juan Camilo Mouriño was arriving in Chihuahua City, two Ministerial Police officers were executed with bullets in this town, outside of the building's Public Ministery, beside the Municipal Presidency.

The policemen killed were known by the names Victor Alfonso Parada Moreno, aged 29 and Angel Enrique Olivas Stirk, 37, informed the Attorney General of Justice in the State.

Witnesses told police that the hitmen were traveling in a black recent model van, color black, apparently lika a Dodge Durango.

The events occurred around 2 p.m., a few meters from the building where the offices of the Ministerio Publico and Posts and Revenue Collection are, located on Juarez Street, between First and Third streets.

The agents were aboard a green Ford pick up owned by the state government.

After the attack, municipal police approached to try to assist the agents until they could be reached by a Red Cross ambulance, in which they placed one of the agents, but he did not live to arrive at the Regional Hospital in this city.

Dozens of police and federal ministerial arrived on the scene sealing the area where the body of the other agent was.

The bodies were transferred to the facilities of the Forensic Medical Service of Chihuahua, where they will be studied.
