ICE Agent’s attack: Gun supplier was U.S. Marine

One of three men arrested and linked with one of the guns used in the murder of a U.S. federal agent in Mexico was part of the U.S. military and received training on weapons. Ranferi Osorio, 27, spent eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps and served in Iraq and Afghanistan before retiring in 2009, said his ex-wife Valeria Rojas in a statement issued on Wednesday before the federal court case. He supported his
family by buying and selling firearms, but had no license or authorization for such trade. The woman testified before U.S. District Judge Paul D. Stickney to support the arguments of counsel that the father of two was not a flight risk and should be released
pending trial. The judge disagreed and stated that Osorio represented a danger to the public, and denied bail and to remain detained pending a trial date. Ranferi Osorio, like his younger brother Otilio, 22, is accused of possessing firearms with altered serial numbers. They were under investigation which took an unexpected turn on Friday 25 February when ATF agents in Dallas were notified that one of the serial numbers of guns used in the murder of Zapata, was related to Otilio Osorio. Although he had apparently erased the serial number of the gun, it could still be detected on the gun using modern laboratory techniques. The ATF decided to proceed and the three suspects were arrested on Feb. 28 in Lancaster, a suburb south of Dallas. On 15
February, the ICE agent and his partner Victor Zapata Avila, were shot as they drove along a road in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi. Zapata died in the attack and Avila was injured.

Death threats in schools
The National Civil Police (PNC) is on alert for complaints from owners and teachers of schools, who seek extra security due to received death threats for not paying extortion. In the first two months of the year, the police has been asked to seven schools, who are harassed by criminal groups who demand extortion fee. Of the seven schools only two have filed a formal complaint, the rest have simply requested more
security. According to sources, the formal complaint is important to initiate an
investigation. Death threats are aimed at those responsible for schools, but instill fear in all by saying that they will kill the children and teachers. Criminal groups say they will bomb the school if schools do not meet their demands. Several of the schools
affected, which can not be mentioned, have suspended classes. They choose not to provide more data because they fear being targeted for violence. There are private schools and others with less resources that have been closed because they can not pay the extortion. The schools have demanded that authorities investigate these cases so that children and youth can study in peace.
