Reporting from Mexico City - A Mexican lawyer who has represented some of the country's best-known drug suspects was stabbed to death outside his home, authorities said Saturday.
Americo Delgado was ambushed Friday evening by at least three men in the city of Toluca, an hour or so outside Mexico City, police said. He was stabbed in the neck, officials said. They did not identify a possible motive.
Over the years, Delgado, said to be 81, has represented a number of prominent drug figures, including Tijuana crime boss Benjamin Arellano Felix and Jesus Amezcua, one of the so-called "methamphetamine kings."
Most recently, Delgado represented Alfredo Beltran Leyva, a suspected kingpin from the northwestern state of Sinaloa who was arrested by Mexican authorities in January 2008. Beltran Leyva's group was once allied with Mexico's most-wanted drug suspect, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, but the arrest ignited vicious fighting between the two factions.
