US Fugitive Kills Mexican Officer in Baja California Shootout
In Tijuana, Mexico, a US fugitive, César Hernández, fatally shot Abigail Esparza Reyes, a 33-year-old leader of the elite “Gringo Hunters” police unit. Hernández, who had escaped a US life sentence for murder, was being apprehended by the unit when the shooting occurred. Despite a large-scale manhunt involving multiple agencies, Hernández escaped, leaving the suspect at large and intensifying the ongoing investigation. The governor of Baja California vowed that Esparza Reyes’ death would not go unpunished.
