Local law enforcement in the Mexican state of Baja California informed that a commander of the State Citizen Security Force (FESC) in Tijuana was killed by a man wanted by U.S. authorities.

The incident took place around 1 p.m. April 9 in a gated community located less than 15 miles from the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Agent Abigail Esparza Reyes, a commander of the Baja California State Forces, responded to the scene after authorities received reports that a suspect wanted by the United States had barricaded himself inside a residence to avoid arrest.
