The leading investigator in the killing of Bobby Salcedo was slain in Mexico. This story was reported on Los Angeles local news and in the Los Angeles Times.
The paper reported that investigator Manuel Acosta had been killed in an ambush while conducting his investigation. Apparently very little progress had been made in his efforts. Acosta was ambushed by gunmen in a five-seat red pickup truck, the kind frequently used by drug traffickers. He was hit as he returned to his office from another deadly crime scene.
The original story was reported here on January 4, 2010.
