Alleged homicide arrested
A man who killed a teenager almost 14 years ago was arrested Saturday by state police officers, said the Attorney General’s office.

Assistant Attorney General in Mexicali Fernando Ramírez said the suspect allegedly killed Víctor Morgado Aguilar, 19, on June 11, 2002.
The official said several men assaulted the victim by members of a gang from Fraccionamiento Villa Florida neighborhood, under suspicion of being a member of a rival group.
One of the suspects injured the victim with a knife.

Rape suspect arrested, indicted
A 69-year-old man who was accused for sexual abuse was indicted Monday, said the Attorney General’s office.
Authorities said Salvador “Doe” was arrested under charged of sexual abuse against a minor of less than 14 years of age.
The suspect was arrested days ago at Fraccionamiento Pedregal Turquesa.
According to prosecutors, the suspect took advantage of his friendly relationship with the victim’s father in order to presumably commit the crime several times.

Men indicted for carjacking
Two men were indicted by a state judge for allegedly robbing a car and shooting the victim with a firearm last week, said the Attorney General’s office.
Authorities said the suspects were identified as Juan Daniel “Doe”, 22, and Edwin Hazard “Doe”, 20.
Assistant Attorney General in Mexicali Fernando Ramírez said on April 12 the suspects presumably threatened with a gun the owner of a white Volkswagen Jetta with California plates at a gasoline station at Lázaro Cárdenas Blvd. and Río Presidio Street at Colonia Independencia neighborhood.
The suspects took a black bag with money from the victim and shot him.
The victim gave police officers details of the suspect vehicle.
