Homicide investigators shot dead in Guadalajara

Two agents of the Jalisco Prosecutor General’s Office (FGE) were shot dead in Guadalajara’s Monumental neighborhood on Friday morning.

Roberto Samuel Perez Gutierrez, 43, and Jaime Alberto Morales Bueno, 41, were driving to work when they came under fire from several assailants aboard a Jeep Liberty and a Stratus style car at the crossing of Belisario Dominguez and Circunvalacion at around 7 a.m. Forensic experts recovered at least 30 shell casings from rifles and handguns at the scene of the crime.

Perez, who joined the police in 1997, and Morales, who signed up in 2008, had been working in the FGE’s homicide division.
