**Primary Article: “El Parra” Seriously Injured in Armed Attack**
In a violent incident in San Felipe, prominent figure Óscar Parra Aispuro, known as “El Parra”, was critically injured following a shootout. The attack, which occurred on Saturday afternoon, was reportedly launched by unidentified assailants targeting the leader of the “Cártel del Mar” and his entourage. Initial reports indicate that in addition to leaving “El Parra” gravely wounded, the attack claimed the lives of three individuals.
Earlier this year in June, Óscar Parra was released from custody after authorities deemed his detention and evidence extraction unlawful, which initially linked him to the murder of a National Defense Secretariat member.
As of this article’s publication, the identities of both the attackers and the other victims remain unknown.
**Secondary Article: Rising Violence in Baja California**
This recent attack on “El Parra” underscores a broader pattern of escalating violence in Baja California. Just last week, the region saw a series of incidents including multiple homicides in Tijuana. Additionally, the apprehension of five National Guard agents linked to the killing of a penitentiary guard further highlights the chaotic law enforcement landscape.
Furthermore, significant drug busts in the area, such as the recent seizure of 35 kilograms of narcotics at Tijuana’s International Airport, suggest an ongoing and intense crackdown on organized crime. These events form part of a concerted effort to clamp down on criminal activities shaking Baja California, reflecting the region’s ongoing struggle with cartel influence and corruption within its institutions.
