Milton Morales Figueroa reportedly killed by gunmen while enjoying a family day out
Mexico City’s head of intelligence and police operations has been gunned down in an apparent drug cartel hit.
Milton Morales Figueroa, 40, is reported to have died instantly in a hail of bullets in the town of Coacalco, just north of the Mexican capital, on a family day out on Sunday.
He was hit at least twice in the head when gunmen jumped out of two SUVs with darkened windows which had suddenly pulled up as the police commander and relatives stopped at a small supermarket in a residential street. Two other people were reportedly injured. One is thought to have been a bodyguard and the other a family member.
“attacks on senior officers from the capital remain relatively rare”
Goes on to describe another attack 3 and 1/2 years ago on a senior officer from the capital.
The operative word, which you quoted, is “relatively”.
Yeah, they already throw in all the specifics of “senior” officials “from the capital city”, but attacks are still so common there that they have to add in “relatively”.
