A Mexican police officer involved in the operation that briefly yielded a son of notorious drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman last month was killed in an assassination that unfolded in broad daylight this week.
The officer, named as Eduardo N., was killed in Culiacan in Sinaloa on Nov. 6, some three weeks after police captured Ovidio Guzman Lopez but soon let him go after cartel members rushed into the area and began firing.
