TIJUANA –

SNIPPET: “The suspect, Ernesto Parra Valenzuela, 36, is in federal custody, Commissioner Elias Alvarez Hernandez, head of federal police forces in Baja California, said at a news conference in Tijuana.

Tecate municipal police on Friday arrested Parra Valenzuela in the vicinity of the shooting five hours afterward. They said that he had a 9mm pistol tucked in his clothing.

The man who named Parra Valenzuela as the shooter was identified as Jose Eugenio Quintero Ruiz, one of four human-smuggling suspects who were detained in the same Tecata area by Mexican federal police, along with 21 migrants.

Alvarez said that Quintero was part of a smuggling group wanted by U.S. authorities for two recent murders and a rape.

Rosas, 30, was tracking suspected illegal immigrants in remote and rocky terrain about 9:15 p.m. Thursday when he came under fire near the U.S.-Mexican border.

Other agents found him dead outside his vehicle near the border fence moments later.”
