Two men with past ties to U.S. government-backed security programs were gunned down in a taquería in San Pedro Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, late Friday night. The victims—both seasoned instructors in intelligence and anti-narcotics operations—had previously worked with the U.S. Embassy in Mexico but were not employed by it at the time of the attack.
César "N," a former Guadalajara police officer and ex-agent for Mexico's federal investigative agency (PGR), had also collaborated with Interpol. He was killed alongside Carlos "N," a financial crimes specialist from Hidalgo, who had provided training through U.S. State Department anti-narcotics programs. Both were reportedly unarmed when they were shot, per coverage by Infobae.
