Death The Violent Death of a Mexican Beauty Queen
Posted by Charles Mudede on Mon, Dec 10, 2012 at 8:08 AM
CNN:
A Mexican beauty queen was killed during a weekend shootout in Sinaloa, a northern state known for drug-fueled violence, authorities said Monday.Maria Susana Flores Gamez, 20, was the 2012 Woman of Sinaloa. She was killed Saturday in a gun battle between military troops and suspected criminals in the municipality of Mocorito. Two others were also killed.
Sinaloa State Attorney General Marco Antonio Higuera said a rifle was found near the beauty queen's body, but it was not clear whether she had fired it. It was also not clear who shot her.
I highly recommend reading the whole report while listening to the terribly sentimental music in this relevant Mexican YouTube video...
