Were the Killers Wearing Masks and Social-Distancing?

In spite of a bad case of coronavirus, a reopening of the bridges to traffic, the war within drugs continues in Juárez, as six people lost their lives in separate incidences of murder in less than 24 hours yesterday.  

Christopher Dominguez died inside a green Honda CRV driven by his wife as they and their two children were leaving a hamburger stand.  Shells of 9 mm and .223 were found nearby.  According to this morning's Diario Mr. Dominguez had served time in jail three times for theft, violent assault, and use of false documents.  

Another man was killed in the violent Southeast area of town as he was walking down the street.  Another man was killed on a roof-top in col. Anáhuc.  And a mechanic was killed as he was working on a car in front of his shop in col Patria.  Diario reports the shells found nearby are similar to ammunition  used by investigators of the state attorney general's office.

Finally, a man and his three-year old step-son were murdered in a humble home, apparently the victims of passionate jealousy.  In a tragic story written by Diario staff, two young people were placed into custody for the double homicide, one of them the daughter of an ex-wife of Mario.  According to the narrative recounted by the Diario staff, the ex-wife had apparently asked Mario to return to her, and when he refused to do so, her daughter, along with her boyfriend, planned the killings, which took place yesterday.  Several incidences of violent threats reportedly had taken place previously.
