THE BORDER REPORT
A home that was shot up in November 2005 may have been attacked by Caborca gunmen using a 50-caliber machine gun seized last week in a military raid in northern Mexico, police told El Imparcial newspaper.
A watchman for the house was killed in that incident and there's always been some confusion as to why the owner of the house was targeted. He is a shrimp farmer working on the Sea of Cortez.
But there were a few curious things about the attack that were known and not published at the time. The house that was attacked bore a significant resemblance to a home next door owned by naro-corrido performer Valentín Elizalde. He was gunned down a year later in Reynosa after performing this song.
Some think it was a hit on Valentín gone wrong. Now the state police are asking the Army for the 50-cal so they can determine if it was the same one.
