Top Baja California Police Commander Brutally Executed Outside His Home in Chilling Hit Amid Rising Cartel Threats
A high-ranking police officer in Tijuana, Mexico, was gunned down in his garage on Monday morning. A chilling threat was left at the scene, warning other police commanders of their impending doom.
A senior officer with the State Investigation Agency was brutally gunned down outside his home in Tijuana on Monday morning, in what appears to be a carefully orchestrated assassination linked to Mexico’s escalating cartel violence. The shocking murder of Agent Gerardo González Zamorano, 51, has sent shockwaves through law enforcement circles in Baja California, where cartel-related violence continues to spiral out of control.
The brazen attack occurred at around 7:13 a.m. on October 14, as the veteran deputy commander, assigned to Tecate, was preparing to leave his residence in the Loma Bonita neighborhood. The officer, who had served with distinction for six months at the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) of Tecate, was reportedly sitting in the driver's seat of his pick-up truck, parked in the garage of his home, when he was ambushed by gunmen.
