TIJUANA KIDNAPPING AND SHOOTOUT A PERFECT VEHICLE FOR A DANNY TREJO MOVIE

I can see Danny Trejo, star of the 2010 movie ‘Machete’, in the role of the kidnap victim in this action thriller. And of course, Robert Rodriguez would be the director.

Events unfolded yesterday in Tijuana that rivaled a movie made in Hollywood, adding to the strange scenario is the secrecy that has encased details from the public. What is known is and the end of the drama five people were dead; a kidnapped person, two kidnappers, two men who were guarding a vehicle, one of the guards was a retired Army officer the other a former Mexican policeman. The guards were the bodyguards of an entrepreneur.

Reported by AFN, the incident began at 10:00 when the “victim” was taken to a safe house. This is where things become incredible, the victim somehow managed to become free, was then able to grab a weapon, the weapon was an AK47. He then killed the two kidnappers at the safe house and escaped..

After leaving the safe house, the seminude, handcuffed and now armed man, spotted a SUV a short distance away and eventually stole the vehicle after killing the two body guards who were guarding the SUV. The two guards are not believed to be involved in the incident.

The State Attorney’s version is the victim then drove a short distance before confronting municipal police, at which time he began firing at them causing a shootout which ended in the victim’s death.

Four of the now deceased were identified formally by the Deputy Attorney General in Tijuana, Ricardo Salas Bravo, as David Edgar Vargas and Javier Lopez Ortega Paredes suspected kidnappers, Luis Enrique González Sifuentes, 41 years old retired Army lieutenant sub and Roberto Fernandez Uribe, 45, a former police.

At the press conference called by the State Attorney, a statement was read and no questions were allowed. Speculations have arisen from the strange case intensified by the lack of facts and answers from authorities.

What information was disclosed is the vehicle had been struck by several bullets and the man - said to be around 36 - was found handcuffed by police handcuffs and holding the “Kalashnikov", AK-47 assault rifle.

The bodies of two people were discovered in the safe house, and in one of the rooms police discovered a 9MM handgun and another AK-47, 43 packets of marijuana, tactical gear, a marijuana press and a scale.

In the house where the bodies were found (alleged kidnappers), located were three shell casings, 7.62 x 39, known as "Kalashnikov", one at the foot of one of the deceased, two additional casings in the garage of the home and one on the street at the same address.

An inspection of the safe house revealed clothes saturated with blood in the laundry room. That and other indicators not disclosed, left the detectives to conclude the room was used to torture people.

Not explained is why the victim fired on Municipal Police Elements, one version could be that the victim was a criminal who was kidnapped to be exchanged as part of a criminal negotiation with rival groups.
