The eldest brother of Mexico's once powerful Arellano Felix drug cartel family was killed by gunmen dressed as clowns at a children's party, according to a Mexican investigator.

 

Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix, 63, was shot dead on Friday during a family event in Cabo San Lucas, a tourist resort in the Baja California peninsula, state special investigations prosecutor Isai Arias told the AP news agency on Saturday.

 

"He was hit by two bullets, one in the thorax and one in the head," Arias said, adding that the former Tijuana drug cartel lieutenant's body was identified by relatives.

 

Authorities close to the case said the gunmen were disguised as clowns when they shot Arellano Felix at the party in the luxurious Casa Oceano tourist residence.

As it goes, "Most brothers have been either killed or arrested, leaving the cartel in tatters while rivals rose in prominence."

 

Arrested in 1980 & in 1993, extradited to the US in 2006 for 2 years and killed in 2013. The rest of his brothers are in lock-up and safe for now. What an awesome life. Karma is a bitch when it catches up to you.
