Security footage shows prisoner who escaped Mexican prison during deadly riot attempting to cross US borderSecurity cameras captured a fugitive, who had escaped during a deadly riot at a Mexican state prison in Juárez, attempting to cross the southern U.S. border into El Paso, Texas, officials said Tuesday evening.
The gang-related prison breakout on Sunday was followed by deadly shooting attacks on police, including a confrontation that left two state police officers and five alleged assailants dead Monday evening.The surge in violence and the manhunt for the escapees led to a massive response by city, state and federal forces, including the arrival of 200 Mexican special forces soldiers .
Defense Secretary Luis Cresencio Sandoval said the attack started about 6:30 a.m. Sunday when a white Hummer H2 pulled up and a guard was killed at a checkpoint at the prison entrance. The Hummer fled and two men inside were killed in a confrontation with police after a vehicle chase, he said. The prison's electrical system and gas lines were damaged during the rioting, causing delays as authorities tried to regain control of the facility, state officials added.
The main target for police forces is Ernesto Alfredo Piñon de la Cruz, 33, known as"El Neto," the eye patch-wearing reputed leader of the Mexicles gang who escaped while serving a more than 200-year sentence on kidnapping and homicide cases.The U.S. Consulate in Juárez resumed normal operations on Wednesday after canceling public appointments on Tuesday because of safety concerns.
