**Primary Article: Suspects Charged in Tecate Deputy Commander Homicide Case**
In a major development, three individuals—two women and a man—have been arrested in Tijuana for their alleged involvement in the murder of Gerardo González Zamorano, the Deputy Commander of the State Investigation Agency in Tecate. The Attorney General of Baja California, Maria Elena Andrade, announced the arrests and emphasized that attacks against law enforcement officers will not go unpunished. “We cannot allow anyone from our team to be harmed without consequences,” she stated.
The investigation revealed that a woman, who is now in custody along with her accomplices, was allegedly the one who pulled the trigger, fatally shooting González Zamorano outside his home in the Loma Bonita neighborhood of Tijuana. The main line of inquiry is focused on the nature of the work González Zamorano was conducting, which had led to the apprehension of several individuals involved in violent crimes in both Tijuana and Tecate.
“He conducted highly significant homicide investigations in Tijuana and was then dispatched to Tecate to bring stability through his investigative work. He handled two extremely crucial investigations in Tecate, which are central to our investigation,” explained the Attorney General.
The suspects have been charged with aggravated homicide. A judge has imposed preventive detention pending trial, setting a three-month deadline for concluding the investigation.
