Cardenas had been known to hide at a house in Brownsville near the airport, where a short shootout took place July 8. The shootout was reportedly carried out by a team of Zetas who clashed with Cardenas’ guards, seeking to capture or kill Cardenas. The shootout reportedly lasted 15 minutes with no casualties. So, this guy has a number of bodyguards with him. He was holed up in a house in Brownsville (that's in Texas, USA, correct?) with his guards around him. A "team" of Zetas crossed the border (I guess) and fought a 15 minute gun battle with his guards. In Brownsville! Ok, I've got it now.

The Brownsville account is certainly unusual in that there were no heads in a duffel bag, bodies suspended from bridges or the like. Prohibition-era gang warfare was tame by comparison.

A Houston paper says he was being driven to South Padre Island by 3 bodyguards when their pickup was pulled over by police, who were working with federal agents and had been tipped to his whereabouts. Nothing about an attractive woman.
