### Stolen Vehicle with Threats Against Former Secretary of Government of Tijuana Found in U.S.
A vehicle carrying threats against Miguel Ángel Bujanda Ruiz, the former Secretary of Government of Tijuana, was reported stolen in the United States, according to the State Attorney General’s Office’s (FGE) specialist in homicides, Miguel Ángel Gaxiola Rodríguez. The vehicle was abandoned with a decapitated body and threats written on a card. The body has yet to be identified due to its condition.
Gaxiola Rodríguez stated, “We are working with U.S. authorities to obtain more information by sending them fingerprints.” The sinister discovery was made on Saturday, August 10th, in the Sánchez Taboada neighborhood. Bujanda Ruiz subsequently resigned, citing the threats against him as the reason, according to Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero Ramírez.
The former Secretary of Government of Tijuana visited the prosecutor’s office on Tuesday to give his statement as an affected individual. So far, he has not requested additional protection, relying instead on municipal police escorts.
Authorities have obtained video footage showing individuals abandoning the car. The investigation is ongoing in collaboration with U.S. officials to uncover further details.
