Mexican federal authorities arrested a local police chief in the border state of Chihuahua in connection with a cartel attack that killed nine U.S. citizens. The murdered women and children were part of a Mormon family residing in Mexico.
On Thursday, agents with a specialized organized crime unit from Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office arrested Fidel Alejandro Villegas Villegas — police chief from Janos, Chihuahua. While Mexico’s government has not released any statements in connection with the case, the police chief and two other men have been taken to Mexico City as part of the ongoing investigation, El Diario de Chihuahua reported.
As Breitbart Texas reported, in early November, several members of the Le Baron family were traveling from a small town in Sonora towards another town with the eventual intent of crossing into the U.S. as they made their way to a family event. It was during that trip that a group of cartel gunmen attacked them killing nine women and children and torching at least one of their vehicles. The family had been driving through a stretch of road in the mountainous area between the Mexican border states of Sonora and Chihuahua — just south of the New Mexico boot heel.
