Yesterday, the second in command of Los Aztecas, Juan Arturo Padilla Juarez, aka 'El Genio', was stabbed to death in a prison fight between los Aztecas and La Linea in the Aquiles Serdan prison in Chihuahua, Chih. Allegedly, 'El Genio' was trying to take control of the prison and inmates from both gangs started a brawl. La Linea inmates invaded the Azteca area in jail to murder El Genio, who was shanked. He had not been in prison a month before he was killed. He was arrested for, among other crimes, the murder of two ministeriales. He was also accused by the U.S. for the murder of the consular employees.
Less than 20 hours later, there have been 25 murders in Juarez. The cops believe that these are revenge killings for El Genio's death. Among the murders was the massacre of 11 people in a house in Juarez located near the Cereso at 1205 Oasis de Egipto Street. Among the dead are three women who, according to police investigators, were tortured, raped and strangled. All of the victims were strangled; none were shot or stabbed. POlice believe they were lured to the house-- a security house, not a regular house-- and they were overcome, tortured and strangled. Police believe that the sicarios were after two of the victims, and simply killed the other people who happened to be there.
