Rumbles From Tijuana

THE BORDER REPORT

TIJUANA, BAJA CALIFORNIA – Sometimes, in this never-ending drug war, people die in battle, or because they turned, or just … because.

Other times, their bodies turn up, their tongues cut out, because a bet went bad and people talk too damned much. That’s what happened in Tijuana last Monday when the bodies of eleven men and a woman were found outside an elementary school, a source knowledgeable with the murders relates this morning in a contribution to BorderReporter.com.

Here’s what my guy on the ground in Tijuana reports:

I Wouldn’t Bet On It

Two well known AFO associates took a break from the life of the sicario Sunday to play motorcycle wars with each other just south of Tijuana. Raydel Lopez Uriate, El Muletas, and Manuel Zambrano Flores, El Jimmy.

They made a bet, $200,000, on a motor-cross expo in Rosarito, Sunday night. EL Muletas got the better part of El Jimmy during the race.

So El Muletas sends his bill collector over for the money but El Jimmy has a different idea, why not just kill the bill collector. El Muletas hears this, and picks up the phone to call his boss, Fernando Sanchez Arellano, El Ingeniero, Benjamin Arellano Felix’s favorite nephew. The phone conversation went something like: “Hey boss, this motherfucker El Jimmy, he owes me money from a bet we made, and when I sent some guys to collect, he killed them. What the fuck, boss.”

Meanwhile, El Jimmy picks up his phone to call his boss El Ingeniero, “Hey boss, this motherfucker, Muletas, says I owe him money, but that is horseshit, and besides, he sent his best gunman to come and collect, what does that tell you about his intentions? What the fuck, boss?”

Either way it went down, there was the outcome, El Ingeniero damn near explodes and EL Muletas and EL Jimmy both are lucky they’re not soaking in a barrel of sulfuric acid right now.

Meantime, El Ingeniero was not pleased; both these clowns had just drawn an enormous amount of attention to the plaza over something ridiculous – a pinche bet – and both men would be punished severely.

Sanchez had other problems going on too. Both of these men had not disciplined their crew very well either; there were reports of their crew members flashing their game all around town, letting the world know they belonged to the AFO, that they should be let into bars, clubs, and restaurants only reserved for the privilege, and this was bringing unwanted attention onto El Ingeniero’s family legacy.

Each lieutenant was told to bring his men, men specified by Sanchez, the same men who were at the motorcycle race, the men who were talking too much around town. El Muletas and EL Jimmy had to sacrifice their own to the AFO Board of Directors, Monday morning. Everyone got the message.

Twelve bodies were found Monday morning, the message was left right there in case no one understood:

“This is what happenes to those that work for EL Ingeniero, and talk too much.”

    Hi Border Reporter, this story came out Monday the 29th from AFN. After the diputed bet and before contactin the engineer, 3 people were killed at Cantamar and many injured including the Fire Chief from Rosarito. Meanwhile, three more dead one in Rosarito and 2 in TJ from last night and early this morning.

    Also, people believe – around here at least – that when authorities picked up “The Bullet” after the police killings in TJ and Rosarito, held him without charges or identifying him (although AFN named him) and it was rumored AFO tried to buy him out jail for nearly 2M but no dice, The Engineer freaked and decided then, alongwith the bet gone bad that it was time to clean house.

    BTW, “The Bullet” ran operations here in Rosarito, and was the best bud of the Engineer.

    Noone really knows what is going to happen next.

    I spelled disputed and contacted wrong ! It’s HOT here and I’m melting.

    heehee, well guys, if the Senate passes this bailout today, we’re all going to be so broke and busy paying for the bankers, no one is going to have any money for dope.

    See you later,

    Me refiero a que no tienen nada que ver los videos de Youtube con la noticia que expuso Michel en esta entrada compita!.
    Creo que So Sad hacer referencia de una manera parecida.

    Por lo demas, esta muy interesante la ultima liga que pusiste, que seguramente ha de ser de uno de los narcojuniors, no es asi?.

    El foro es en ingles y esa es la razon de postear en ese idioma, pero si no lo dominas bien[como yo! lol!] o prefieres el español no importa, sigue aportando.
    Gracias.

    “…Fuimos a una casa que estaba yendo para la presa. Alli comenzaron a practicar tiro al blanco luego Ramon me dijo que si queria tirar y pues le dije que si y me presto su escuadra pero como me temblaba el pulso todos se burlaban.
    Me acuerdo que eso me dio mucho coraje y aprete fuerte el gatillo y le empece atinar todos los tiros al centro…”
    (se ve que este amigo sabe de lo que habla, entre mas fuerte aprietes el gatillo menos le das al blanco)

    Efectivamente, esa es una nota exclusiva de Agencia Fronteriza de Noticias de Tijuana (AFN) obtenida con sus “fuentes” también exclusivas. Y efectivamente, como lo dice Maggie Drake apareció en esa fecha y en el link http://www.afntijuana.info/2008/septiembre/29septiembre/apuesta que se les hace notar.

    Favor de darle el crédito correspondiente
