**Man Killed After Leaving La Mesa Prison; Two Suspects Arrested**
A tragic event unfolded in the early hours of Thursday, November 14th, when a man was shot and killed shortly after exiting La Mesa Penitentiary in Tijuana. At approximately 1:00 AM, during a routine patrol, authorities responded to gunfire near Los Charros Avenue in the José Sandoval neighborhood, the location of the prison. There, they discovered the lifeless body of 29-year-old Edgar Arturo N. on the street.
Witnesses reported seeing two individuals flee the scene in a gray Nissan Altima. The victim was dressed in a green t-shirt, blue jeans, and black athletic shoes, showing signs of gunshot wounds to the head. Authorities recovered seven 9mm shell casings at the scene.
Further investigation led police to a nearby intersection at Tecoripa and Melchor Ocampo streets, where they located the suspect’s vehicle—a Nissan Altima with California plates. Inside the vehicle, a cellphone was found on the passenger seat, alongside another device inside the cup holder. Thanks to this evidence, authorities were able to detain two suspects allegedly connected to the crime.
