I heard about this event this morning and then received an email about it also. Sounds like it won’t be too much longer before they begin the actual work on the road.

Again from “stefenmwest” -
There have been two more executions in La Paz, occuring Saturday, the 12th of May. Victims were an ex cop and his cousin. Events took place on the outskirts of La Paz near the colonia Olas Atlas near the mountains. Drug trade is suspected AS IS the possibility that this incident is related to the Bismarkcito shooting, since the victim there, Zerferino Felix Beltran, a farmer from Sinaloa and nephew of the notorious Hector Beltran Leyva, founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, has also been confirmed to have lived in the very same colonia as where these most recent shootings have taken place. The fatal shots were execution style to the back of the head. The state attorney Generals office (PGJ) is expected to release more details soon.

Once again from “stefenmwest” – he is on top of this situation.
The latest report regarding the shooting at the bismark is that the assasin came up behind the victim, fired 9 shots with a 9mm equiped with silencer, and the victim fell dead infront of his wife, mother, brother and stepson. There are no leads yet as to the assasin. There was a reported vehicle leaving the scene, which was found abandoned. The vehicle was a white, 2011 Nissan Tiida with plates which were registered in Los Cabos though the vehicle has been traced to have been purchased in Sinaloa.

On a local news channel they reported that no one in the restaraunt heard the shots nor knew that anything was wrong until the victim fell and by that time, the killer had fled.

Yet another foggy morning – visibility about 100 meters. I can’t see the ocean nor the mountains from my house. If we have June weather in May, what comes next? It’s about 65 F outside at 8 am this morning, with a bright glare filtering through the fog.
Tropical depression One-E has become Tropical Storm Aletta with sustained winds of 40 mph. She’s heading west out into the ocean so no danger for Baja Sur. Today is the official start of the eastern Pacific hurricane season.
