La Joya is a border town about 20 miles north west of McAllen. Police chifs just across the border have very short lives.........

Damn. Unless this was a suicide, the violence continues to spread north. Big Sis needs to go.

Treviño said he would wait for the autopsy report to determine if the gunshots were self inflicted or caused by another individual. But authorities close to the investigation said they believe Del Angel took his own life.

Suicide by cartel = turned down an offer he couldn't refuse or didn't carry through on a deal. Sort of like suicide by cop.

I wonder if Obama will show up at the Funeral and make some of his hilarious Moat and Alligator jokes.

May God Bless the Sheriff and his Family.

Why would a 911 call need to be made. Don’t all police radio in their whereabouts when they stop to check something? Shouldn’t they have known he was there and not responding?

Quote from another site: "Treviño said he would wait for the autopsy report to determine if the gunshots were self inflicted or caused by another individual. But authorities close to the investigation said they believe Del Angel took his own life."

Gunshots? Is this poorly written or a direct quote or a misstatement? If not I doubt that the gunshots (plural) were self-inflicted.

There is something else strange about this case. Police said they were looking for the chief since 9:30AM. A citizen reported seeing him slumped in his car 11 hours later.

Wikipedia says there are less than 3,500 people living in La Joya. I have never been there, but in a town that small I think you could cruise EVERY STREET in less than a couple of hours. How hard were they looking for him? Was there no locator on his car or his cell phone?

Poorly written?

Many in the law enforcement community are shock.

English as a second language comes to journalism.
