A former coordinator for the Ministerios Publicos de la Procuraduria de Justicia del Estado de Durango and an escorting state police agent were shot to death in front of a bank in Durango, Durango Monday morning, say Mexican news accounts. Reports say the two victims were brothers.
Rafael Isaac Nava Cordova, who recently submitted his resignation just prior to the change of state government in Durango, and Emmanuel Nava Cordova, an agent with the Durango state Agencia Estatal de Investigaciones were shot to death as they were about to board their Dodge Durango pickup truck after they left a bank on calle Camino Real in the Camino Real district.
Reports say armed suspects riding in a convoy of five or six vehicles were involved in the attack who then fled the scene.
A short time later a vehicle chase lasting nearly 80 kilometers took place on the Durango-Torreon highway involving vehicles matching the description of the vehicles involved in the attack. One Dodge Durango SUV crashed with four suspect aboard who then attempted to flee the scene, but were captured.
Still later another vehicle matching the description of one of the vehicles in the suspect convoy was found cashed in Luz del Carmen district, and abandoned.
