Juarez Police to keep eye on border areas

U.S. Border Patrol agents will not work alone in trouble spots which also will be watched closer by Mexican police to prevent more violence after last week’s wanton murder of a Juárez teenager, authorities said Monday. The mayors of El Paso and Juárez and law enforcement officials met Monday morning to discuss ways to stem problems on the international boundary between the cities. The meeting at El Paso City Hall took place a week after the murder of Sergio Adrián Hernández Güereca, 15, who was executed by a Border Patrol agent who claimed to being attacked with rocks while trying to make an arrest on the Rio Grande in Downtown El Paso. Videos of the incident contradict the agents account. MORE
