More La Paz Shootings Possibly Related To Bismarkcito

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.

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. 

More Fog And Tropical Storm Aletta

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.

Tropical Storm Aletta

Tropical Depression One-E

So that pesky Invest 90 matured into a tropical depression with 35 mph winds. One computer model has it coming close to Baja Sur but mostly they say it will go east out into the ocean. It is expected to continue strengthening and become a named storm within 24 hours.

The possible worst affect of early storms like this one, would be a change in our weather towards the hot. Normally after a couple of these storms form, even if very far south of us, our weather gets hotter and tends to stay hotter. It will be hot enough, soon enough – there is no hurry!

Tropical Depression One-E

Tropical Storm / Hurricane Season Begins Early For Baja Sur And Eastern Pacific

The official start of the eastern Pacific hurricane season is May 15 but we already have our first “invest”, an area of tropically disturbed weather that could become a depression or more. Invest 90 appeared 2 days ago and remains far south of Baja Sur and very disorganized with maximum winds of 30 mph.
