Juarez City.- It was 00:30 hours, when a group of people who were drinking beers outside the Pepe’s yonke, on the Carlos Amaya and Mijes perinetral, were approached by four armed men who arrived aboard a truck to threaten them.
“What the hell are you doing there,” said the driver of the truck, who got out with a long gun and pointed it at Lorenzo Medrano, a Road Safety officer who had just come off duty.
Faced with the risk, Medrano replied “Nothing, all calm”, but was immediately attacked with bullets, seriously wounded, while the gunmen left the scene in a hurry.
The wounded agent still managed to get into his black Ford Fusion car and drove to the Carlos Amaya perimeter and Cartagena street where he asked his companion to take the wheel “I can’t stand it anymore, you drive,” he said, then opened the door and vanished, according to the version that the woman gave to the preventive agents who initially arrived.
When paramedics arrived at the scene, they found Lorenzo Antonio dead, who was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, navy blue pants and black tactical boots, a bullet was seen in his chest, a Public Security agent mentioned.
