I was recently informed of a Police officer or ex-police officer as he was recently relieved of his duties, dying from his wounds and his daughter surviving her wounds.
Happened Friday the 21st of February, I have not been able to find any more info regarding this almost like it has been buried!

What I was told was this guy was CLEAN, VERY CLEAN and that he had recently filed a report or complaint about some senior officials doing some chit they were not supposed to be doing.

What is going on?
This is just the tip of the iceberg, I also understand that the crime rate in Baja South is starting to soar.
By Crime rate I am taking into account petty crimes such as "Break and Enters".

Here are a couple of links to news articles:

It was also on the front page of El Sudcaliforniano (in print). My neighbors saw it on TV the afternoon it happened and told me about it. El Chapo's capture took over the headlines on subsequent days.

Might want to search through the archives of the Sudcalifornio. I read about it there a week or so ago.

(oops....Kate beat me to it)

I breeze through the local online news in the mornings, although I wouldn't say crime was soaring, I've definitely noticed an increase in reporting of different robberies, assaults, etc. in both Constitucion and La Paz.

Don't know if there's more crime, or just slow news so they have to find something to report about.

Thanks Kate

La Paz, Baja California Sur (BCS) . A group of heavily armed men attacked Juan Antonio Salgado Burgoin and his family, the former municipal police officer died after being shot seven or eight times.

The incident took place around 12:40PM this Friday at the corner of calles La Purísima and Misión de Mulegé, in the Misiones subdivision in this city.

Burgoin Salgado was taken to the Salvatierra hospital in La Paz where he died of the wounds.

Elements of Expert Services of the State Attorney's Office, arrived at the location where they are performing an investigation.

In addition, an operation was mounted to find the attackers, who allegedly were aboard a white Toyota Tacoma pick up.

Burgoin Salgado, was in a lawsuit against the City of La Paz for his dismissal, and even filed a complaint with the State Human Rights Commission for abuse of authority against deputy commanders of the Municipal Police.

During the day there have been various versions about the facts, some of which suggest that Burgoin Salgado, realizing that he was being pursued, decided to raise the windows of the van in which he was traveling.

The former policeman was traveling with his 11-year-old who he had just picked up from school, so when he was shot, he covered her with his body. The little girl was also wounded in the right arm with a bullet, and thankfully her health is reportedly stable.

Meanwhile, the mayor of La Paz, Esther Ponce Beltrán, mourned the death of the former policeman and said her administration will be watching the situation of Salgado Burgoin family "so there are not left helpless" and receive what the law provides.

She reiterated that Salgado Burgoin left her administration for not meting the requirements, but said the relationship was always "institutional." In a radio interview, she called upon the Attorney General of the State to investigate the incident.
