McALLEN — Fatal gunshots volleyed from one vehicle to another along the expressway early Tuesday morning point to a power struggle within the Gulf Cartel, sources familiar with the victim said.
McAllen police continue to investigate the apparent murder of Jorge Zavala, 32, a Mission man slain as a volley of gunfire penetrated his Ford Expedition about 2 a.m. Tuesday.
Zavala and a 22-year-old man fell victim to the gunfire when an unknown shooter attacked their dark-colored SUV from a Chevrolet Tahoe with oversized rims as they headed west past the Jackson Road interchange.
Investigators believe the shots came from a semi-automatic rifle, but would not confirm how many struck the victims. The gunfire caused Zavala to lose control of the vehicle and crash along the expressway.
Police had no motive for the shooting as of Tuesday afternoon. But two sources familiar with the situation said Zavala had ties to Gulf Cartel members in Matamoros and Reynosa, which has shown signs of its own internal power struggle in recent weeks.

Those things are going to haunt the globe forever.
High probability...
Mexico is run by the cartel and they have declared war on the United States. Heard a report that there are thousand of the enemy already established in America and they are located over most of the Country. Never clean them out. Washington elite has failed America and should be tared and feathered.
So are the Islamic terrorist cells, and our government won't do anything about them, either.
Political correctness has done more to harm the world than any war in history. Sooner or later, it's all going to come to a head.
We're coming to a time when there's going to be a lot of personal reflection. We're going to have to decide what's truly important and in our best interest and what is not.
