Sicarios
asesinaron ayer a un hombre en la colonia Anáhuac que, de acuerdo con testigos,
corrió para salvar su vida pero fue alcanzado por las balas.
Con este caso suman cinco los homicidios perpetrados el lunes, informaron
autoridades.
Extraoficialmente se dijo que el victimado se llamaba José Murguía Gómez, de
aproximadamente 40 años, quien cayó muerto en la esquina de las calles
Batopilas y Carlos Adame.
El homicidio se cometió a las 3:15 de la tarde, cuando el hombre apenas había
caminado unos metros tras salir de su domicilio.
Agentes estatales localizaron en la escena del crimen siete casquillos calibre
.40 milímetros y un proyectil deformado.
El cadáver, que presentaba tatuajes en el abdomen con la leyenda “Alpine
Street”, fue localizado boca abajo por vecinos que salieron tras escuchar las
detonaciones.
Los habitantes de la zona cubrieron el cuerpo con un pendón de un partido
político, mientras llegaban las autoridades.
Al momento de morir, Murguía Gómez vestía un pantalón azul de mezclilla, cinto
negro, tenis gris con blanco y sudadera roja.
De los asesinos nadie supo dar características.
Con este deceso suman cinco los homicidios perpetrados ayer, pues a la 01:30 de
la madrugada un hombre fue victimado en la burrería denominada “Tin Tan”, ubicada
en la colonia Partido Romero, en la Avenida 16 de Septiembre y calle Emilia
Calvillo.
También el cuerpo de una mujer fue localizada sin vida la mañana de ayer
envuelta en una lona en la colonia Campesina, al sur de la ciudad.
Además, el hallazgo de un par de cadáveres se realizó a las 10:35 de la mañana
en una brecha localizada a un kilómetro al sur de la carretera Juárez–Casas
Grandes, sobre el kilómetro 5 más 400.

‘Con homicidios de alto impacto buscan grupos intimidar a rivales’
Staff
EL DIARIO | 12-03-2012 | 21:55
Los recientes
eventos violentos en los que se han encontrado un cuerpo cercenado, otro
decapitado, así como el ataque a policías forman parte de una estrategia que
pretende hacer ver a los rivales y a la sociedad en general que están retomando
fuerza en la disputa por el control de la plaza, aseguró Jorge González
Nicolás, fiscal de Persecución e Investigación del Delito.
Mencionó que desde hace tiempo a uno de los grupos se le ha mermado en su
capacidad de fuerza, lo que los ha llevado a disminuir su capacidad de generar
actos violentos.
Dijo que un esfuerzo desesperado por querer hacer ver a la comunidad y a sus
enemigos que no están muertos del todo y por ello se dan algunos repuntes en la
incidencia criminal.
Estos delitos de alto impacto, señaló, pretenden enviar un mensaje a los
rivales de que todavía tienen poder de fuego, pero la realidad es otra.
Comentó que la autoridad ha logrado abatir los índices de violencia
precisamente porque ha desarmado a estos grupos y no tienen la misma capacidad
que en los primeros años en que se incrementó la violencia en esta frontera.
Indicó que habrán de aplicarse nuevas estrategias para seguir abatiendo la
criminalidad.
Expresó que en la actualidad Ciudad Juárez registra niveles de violencia que se
encuentran muy debajo de lo que se presentó hace tres años.
Si bien es cierto que siguen apareciendo decapitados, cercenados y ataques a
policías, se trata de casos que únicamente buscan llamar la atención pero que
no representan ninguna amenaza de que regresen de nueva cuenta los niveles de
violencia que se tenían antes.
El fiscal González Nicolás aseguró que el trabajo realizado tanto por la
Secretaría de Seguridad Pública Municipal y de la Fiscalía General del Estado,
así como las penas interpuestas por jueces del Poder Judicial han contribuido
de manera sustancial a recuperar la tranquilidad para esta sociedad.
Reconoció que falta por hacer, ya que aún se presentan extorsiones, homicidios
y otros delitos de alto impacto que generan desconfianza en la sociedad.
Sin embargo, aseguró que en una comparación con las cifras registradas en el
2008, 2009, 2010 y 2011 con las de estos meses del 2012 hay una diferencia
sustancial.
Con las estrategias que se están diseñando para combatir a los integrantes de
los grupos del crimen organizado que 'trabajan' aún en la sociedad se contempla
que sigan a la baja los homicidios, robos de autos con violencia y extorsiones,
puntualizó.

Recent violent events in which they have found a severed body, another head, like the attack on police are part of a strategy that seeks to impress upon rivals and society in general are regaining strength in the battle for control of the square, said Jorge Gonzalez Nicolas, Attorney Harassment and Criminal Investigation.
He mentioned that in a while one of the groups has diminished in its ability to force, which has led them to reduce their ability to generate violence.
He said a desperate effort to want to see the community and its enemies are not dead at all and so are some spikes in the crime rate.
These high-impact crimes, he said, intended to send a message to rivals who still have firepower, but the reality is another.
He said the authority has managed to bring down rates of violence precisely because these groups have been disarmed and have the same capacity in the first years of increased violence in this border.
He noted that new strategies be implemented to continue lowering the crime.
He said that currently registered Juarez violence levels are far below what was presented three years ago.
While that still appear decapitated, severed and attacks on police, these are cases that only seek attention but no threat of returning again into violence levels they had before.
Nicholas Gonzalez The prosecutor said the work done by both the Ministry of Municipal Public Security and the Attorney General, and the penalties filed by judges of the Judiciary have contributed substantially to restore peace to society.
He acknowledged that to be done, since there are still extortion, murder and other crimes that generate high impact mistrust in society.
But he said that in comparison with the figures recorded in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 with those of these months of 2012 is substantially different.
With the strategies that are being designed to fight the members of organized crime groups 'work' even in society is seen to continue down the murders, car thefts with violence and extortion, he said.

Here are a few more attempts below to explain the brutality of recent killings in Juarez...as someone who looks at the news stories almost every day, there is really no anomaly to try to explain. What is an anomaly are the boasting pronouncements of politicians and policy analysts about how everything is getting better. We should recall that in mid-2008, several politicians including the governor of Chihuahua and the mayor of Juarez made statements to the press saying that the conflict was over and that tranquility and normalcy would return. Instead, the violence continued to grow to unforeseen levels. The killings are down in number this year so far. But, they are still higher than they were at the beginning of 2008 when no one could imagine what was to come next. The only way to look at the current killings as a great improvement is to consider the horrifying statistics of 2010. But the killings in Juarez so far this year are more than triple what they were in 2007 and every year before that. molly

JUAREZ -- A recent string of brutal killings, most of them in Juárez's south and southeast areas, is making some security analysts wonder how calm things really have become.
Gustavo de la Rosa Hickerson, ombudsman in Juárez for Chihuahua state's human rights commission and a member of the Citizens' Security Worktable, said that though the number of killings is down, the criminal brutality in the ones that have occurred can convey a sense of dread.
"A swallow doesn't make a summer," de la Rosa said. "I think quantitatively homicides have gone down, but qualitatively there are much more important and gruesome aggressions. And sometimes a homicide committed with such brutal ferocity is much more destructive to the social fabric
than killings that result from gang fights or executions trying to defend a market."
De la Rosa also pointed to the unpunished killing of almost 40 police officers in the last six months as a sign of the problems authorities have in taming the violence.
"The level of violence in Juárez hasn't gone down. Forty fallen cops and no murderers arrested speaks of an incredible level of impunity," he said. "We can't talk about a decrease in violence if we're having these horrifying crimes."
A spokesman for the municipal police didn't return calls for comment.
Scott Stewart, vice president of tactical intelligence at geopolitical analysis company Stratfor, said that while the Sinaloa cartel has gradually gained more control of drug
Stewart said the irregularity in activity came from the recent calm, not the brutality.
"Honestly, it does not surprise me that we're seeing that level of gratuitous violence," he said. The previous downtick in violence "could only do with the flux of battles. Like a military field, you'll have these battles between groups and then it will take time for them to build up for a new offensive."
On Sunday, authorities found a severed head on a bus stop bench on Ramón Rayón Avenue and Juárez Porvenir Road. The dismembered body was located blocks away inside a black plastic bag, along with a Texas identification card belonging to Eder Vidana Solis.
Last Friday, another decapitated body was found on the road to Casas Grande near the kilometer 17 marker. Hours later, a human head was found near the kilometer 20 marker. Authorities haven't determined if the head corresponds to the body.
In the last four weeks, other incidents include finding a charred body, a man who had torturous burn marks on his feet, a man hanging from a bridge and a number of people -- including two women -- who were found dead with plastic bags over their heads.

Several gruesome murders take place over weekend in Juárez
The violence continued in Juárez over the weekend and today with a woman found slain, two police officers killed and the public display of the mutilated body of a man who had a Texas identification card, the Chihuahua state prosecutor's office said Monday.
The man's severed head was found Sunday afternoon on a bus-stop bench near Avenida Ramon Rayon in the Zaragoza area, officials said. The rest of the body was later found cut into pieces inside two bags left in the Morelos Zaragoza area.
Along with the body parts, investigators found a pair of black jeans, a shirt, a wallet and a Texas identification card with the name Eder Vidana Solis. A prosecutor's office spokesman said Monday the dead man had not been formally identified because no one had come to claim the body.
The gruesome incident was one of six homicides Sunday in Juárez, including two police officers killed in an afternoon street shooting that wounded two other men in the Rancho Anapra area. The officers were identified as Jose Alfredo Delgado Acosta, 39, and Armando Muñoz Quiroz, 35.
The violence continued on Monday with four more homicides. The deaths included two unidentified men shot and with possible signs of torture whose bodies were found late Monday morning in the desert off the highway to Casas Grandes.
Shortly before 9 a.m., the body of an unidentified woman wrapped in a bed cover was found in a vacant lot in colonia La Campesina. The woman, who appeared to be in her late 40s, with a plastic bag over her head and had been stabbed several times, police said.
At about 2:30 a.m., a man, identified as Luis Torres Torres, 39, was shot to death inside a business in downtown Juárez, police said.
