Mexican first lady's cousin killed Thu Dec 14, 1:24 AM ET

MEXICO CITY - A cousin of Mexico's first lady was found dead of gunshot wounds just outside Mexico City, authorities said Wednesday.

The body of Luis Felipe Zavala, cousin of Margarita Zavala, was found in his minivan Tuesday night in the city of Naucalpan in Mexico State, said Carlos Flores, state deputy attorney general. Naucalpan borders Mexico City.

Authorities spoke with Zavala's wife, two of his brothers, and a brother-in-law — all of whom said he had no known enemies, Flores said.

President Felipe Calderon's office confirmed the death.

"It's evidently an execution because of the way his life was taken and the position he was found in," Flores told W Radio, noting that the body was found wedged behind the driver's seat. Zavala had been shot in the neck, the thorax and the side, apparently with a 9mm pistol, he said.

Zavala's body was found by a resident who noticed that the minivan was blocking his driveway.

Married with three children, Zavala was a horse-riding instructor and also bought and sold horses, although he did not appear to be a rich man, Flores said.

The killing occurred a day after Calderon announced a massive crackdown on organized crime, including drug trafficking, in his native central state of Michoacan, sending in 6,500 soldiers and federal police.

More than 500 people in Michoacan have been killed this year in violent deaths. Investigators link at least half of the homicides to a turf war between two rival drug gangs

This is the hard working people our representatives and president want to just flow across our border. Yea right.

Yes exactly! Wake up America before they are at your door!

Calderon is either incredibly stupid or incredibly smart. Publically declaring war on the drug cartels is a bold and noble move, but not too smart. Did he not expect any kind of retalitation? I'm sure he did, and I hope he realizes what lengths these drug lords will go to.
