Rosarito police officer's beheaded body found
2:00 a.m. April 17, 2009
A Rosarito Beach police officer was found dead yesterday, a day after he was kidnapped, authorities said.
The Baja California Attorney General's Office identified the victim as Juan Eduardo Huerta Carrera, 49. His decapitated body was discovered inside a 2009 Dodge Durango with California plates found parked on the side of a highway.
Huerta had been reported kidnapped Wednesday from the entrance of an exclusive neighborhood. A police department spokesman said Huerta had been on the force less than a year and was an auxiliary officer.
Authorities reported the shooting death of Rosarito Beach's deputy police commander, Tomás Cárdenas, on April 4. Three days later, a group of federal police agents survived an ambush in Tecate.
A Tijuana police officer was shot to death and another gravely wounded in an attack April 11. So far this year, 10 officers from Tijuana and Rosarito have been killed. –O.M.G.
