2 Dead in Aizona Desert in deadly drug dispute

The search continued for several suspects who shot and killed two men and wounded two others in a gun battle six miles east of Gila Bend.

The shootings occurred a high-traffic corridor known for human and drug smuggling.

The bodies of the two men were found by Maricopa County sheriff's investigators in a cave about six miles east of Gila Bend Monday afternoon. Two other men who were seriously hurt were airlifted to the West Valley Hospital in Goodyear.

“We're hoping one will be able to talk and give us more information,” Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

The names and ages of the dead and wounded were not released.

Semi-automatic weapons and other evidence found in the cave were seized.

One of the wounded men called 911 around 12:30 p.m. Monday reporting he and three others had been shot, according to Arpaio. The caller said the incident had occurred one hour earlier and it was unclear why he had delayed calling.

Arpaio said sheriff's SWAT officers located the area and set up a perimeter to protect the investigators from any threat. No suspects were located.

“We have an intensive investigation going on to identify the shooters,” Arpaio said.

A number of bales of marijuana were found in the area but they've not been linked to the shooting scene. . .

The Federal Govt. has ceded almost all of Southern Arizona to criminals. This sign is 30 miles south of Phoenix, along Interstate 8 from Casa Grande westward.

The Vekol Valley is a hotbed of smuggling.

The shootings occurred a high-traffic corridor known for human and drug smuggling.

And a good 100 miles north of the border.

Glad to help. I read the article and was reminded of the scene where the hunter found the scene where the drug dealers, guns, and drugs were scattered all over the desert. Good movie btw.

That was a really good movie. The “There are no Clean Getaways” theme was well done.
