Who wants Rogaciano Alba dead? Massacre of Mexican strongman’s family breaks all the rules

Mexico’s drug underworld has become ever more violent in recent years, with gunmen beheading victims and carving threats into their bodies. But almost like a code of honor, hit men targeting ranchers, businessmen, journalists and rival drug smugglers have largely left the victims’ families alone.

The attack on Alba broke all the rules.

On Saturday, seven ranchers were killed as they returned from a union meeting led by Alba. The following day, gunmen disguised as police showed up at Alba’s ranch. When they didn’t find him, they lined up 10 of his relatives and friends in front of his sturdy, two-story brick house and mowed them down.”*
