Mexican police have captured a suspected drug cartel hit man in a crowded Tijuana casino after a chase through the city streets.
Mexico’s federal Public Security Department says agents arrested a man believed to be Ruben Rios Estrada at the Caliente racetrack casino in Tijuana. It says Rios is a key gunman for the Arellano-Felix cocaine cartel. Another suspected gang member also was arrested.
Mexican media report that casino officials complained that the raid endangered some 1,300 customers, who were ordered to the floor.
The agency says the army and federal attorney general’s joined Friday’s arrests and that the suspects have been flown to Mexico City.
