TIJUANA – A municipal police officer has been identified as one of the 13 confirmed victims of Saturday's shootouts between suspected gang members. Sergio Leonardo Jimenez Dominguez, 22, had been working since January 2007 with the city's commercial police division, according to a statement released Wednesday by the Baja California Attorney General's Office.

In addition, two state agents under investigation for a possible connection to the shootout are missing: Eduardo Logan Rojas, and Jose Valentin Garcia Topete, members of a squad that investigates sex crimes and domestic violence.

Logan had been with the state agency for the past six years, and Garcia for 13. A state-owned white Chevrolet Malibu, assigned to Logan, was found at the scene of the initial shootout, the statement said.
The statement is the first formal acknowledgement of police involvement in Saturday's incident. Gov. Jose Guadalupe Osuna Millan's government has been working with the federal government to crack down on police corruption, conducting extensive background checks.
