At least three dead in Ajijic

JOHN PLEASE SHUT UP. YOUR CONDESCENDING MANNER FOR ALL THINGS NOT CHOSEN BY YOU IS BORING AND INSULTING. YOUR TOTAL LACK OF COMPASSION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY RECENT EVENTS IS MINDBOGGLING.
....and yes I put it in caps because I was shouting at you. BACK OFF!

April 2nd SJC murders, two. No arrest.

April 2nd also coincides with a bunch of crap on the south side. Shooting with both injured or dead in Tizapan and Tuxcueca along with a lot of people that didn't get hit. There were 5 shots fired at the top of my property in SLS as the idiots drove around the lake.

We know the story about the two guys who were offed on Colon, they were narcs and the neighborhood won't miss them.

The third guy is puzzling. Looks like a separate incident altogether. He seems to be clean, wonder if there was some guy who was pissed the girl was marryiing the victim and not him.

Part of the problem here is that Mexico's already pretty thin policing and justice system is trying to fight the stupid U.S. war on drugs and may be getting diverted from dealing with stuff like that last killing.

Things are going downhill all over, better get used to it. Glad I'm old and won't last too much longer. I wouldn't want to be born into the decline of western civilization.

Here is the official story from the Guadalajara Reporter:

Three killed in Ajijic shooting spree
Tuesday, April 10 2012 15:03 Dale Hoyt Palfrey

Three Ajijic residents were shot dead in back-to-back incidents late Sunday, April 8. Two other persons considered as innocent bystanders were injured by stray bullets.

According to information provided to the Reporter by the Chapala police department and the Ministerio Publico (MP) public prosecutor’s office, the first of the fatal attacks occurred shortly after 11 p.m. on Calle Colon, about a block and a half above the Chapala-Jocotepec highway.

Eyewitnesses told the authorities that gunmen riding in a white or light gray van and possibly a second vehicle came up behind a compact pickup truck that was traveling down the street, opening fire on the driver and his passenger as they pulled up to the sidewalk near the corner of Angel Flores.

The two men subsequently found dead inside the truck have been tentatively identified as Lorenzo Saucedo Ramos (a.k.a. El Lencho), age 32, and Jose Juan Limon Hernandez (a.k.a. El Tinatin), 45. Both suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head, upper body and extremities, causing instant death.

A housewife residing in the vicinity was hit in the left foreman by a flying bullet as she opened her front door to look out into the street after hearing the barrage of gunfire erupt. A teenage boy who was heading home on foot at the time was shot in the left shoulder by another stray bullet. Both were taken to the Chapala Red Cross for medical treatment and later released after being questioned by MP personnel. Police chief Reynol Contreras requested that the names and addresses of the injured parties be kept confidential to protect their safety as key witnesses.

Strange that the 3rd victim is not mentioned.

Actually, if you read the entire article in the Reporter, you will see that he was.

What did it actually say about the third victim? I know he was killed alongside the carretera between Casa de Plomero and the swimming pool supply store. He had a very recognizable truck in bright blue that was jacked up high, very hard to miss for someone who wanted to kill him.

Gracias.
