MONTERREY, Nuevo Leon – A drug trafficker who was previously arrested in Texas died from two gunshots in a local upscale shopping center.
This week, Angel Aziel Herrera Cavazos, 25, died in the hallways of the Nuevo Sur shopping plaza after a gunman shot him twice with a 9mm pistol. According to information released to Breitbart News by law enforcement sources in Nuevo Leon, the gunman ran away to the parking lot where a driver was waiting to make a clean getaway.
Detectives with Nuevo Leon’s State Investigation’s Agency (AEI) are working to identify the shooter and the getaway driver, however, the working theory for the shooting points to a drug dispute. Authorities revealed that the victim was apparently caught by surprise and likely knew who wanted him dead.
Breitbart News confirmed that Herrera Cavazos, a Mexican national born in Tamaulipas, had a criminal history in Texas with arrests by the McAllen Police and Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office on home burglary charges in 2011 and 2012, and drug trafficking in 2013. The victim spent two years in a Texas prison in connection with the charges. It remains unclear if he was deported or moved to Monterrey on his own.
Law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart News that Herrera Cavazos was supposedly involved in moving drugs from Monterrey to Texas. His criminal affiliation remains unclear.
