Luis Adolfo Gomez Zacarias was a local businessman engaged in retail sales of food and household items. For an extended period, prior to September 20, 2013, he was being extorted under death threats by an organized criminal gang, and when no longer able to pay the 500 Quetzal per month extortion demand, he was murdered.

A 46 year-old woman named Olga Hidalgo-Gato was arrested for stealing more than $35,000 from a woman she was hired to help. The victim is a 75 year-old woman residing in North Miami Beach. Hidalgo-Gato volunteered to be the woman's home health care aide after discovering that the Department of Children and Families recommended the elder hire someone. The victim's son said that his mother had known Hidalgo-Gato since she was born, and had "loved her like a daughter," (cited by Afshar). Hidalgo-Gato had been writing herself checks and taking out money from ATM accounts belonging to the victim, who did not discover the theft was taking place until realizing her account was overdrawn. Moreover, Hidalgo-Gato was neglecting her duties as a home health aide. She had not been paying the bills, keeping the house clean, or fulfilling her obligations to her client. Hidalgo-Gato had been working as a home health aide for the victim since October 2010.

While Herminio was in prison, Cuesta told him about the night of an abortive raid against Castro. After his story, Diaz uttered words that Cuesta would always remember. When sharing his story, Martinez said “Herminio confessed to Tony Cuesta that he had taken part in the death of the US president.” Many years later, in Florida, Reinaldo heard the same evidence from another person, a fellow Cuban exile, Remigio Arce, who said, “Listen, the one who killed the president was our little friend.” Investigative writer Anthony Summers believes that what Martinez is the truth. “Martinez struck me – after two days of tough interviewing of a man in his eighties – as someone with nothing to gain, who appeared to be credible.” Diaz seems to be the killer, he was a known political assassin, a marksman and an employee for Santo Trafficante, one of the two suspects in the assassination. He was also involved with one of the more dangerous and extreme anti-Castro groups. “The Mafia had every motive to do away with President Kennedy because they were being pursued as never before by the government. At the same time, a large part of the anti-Castro movement felt betrayed by Kennedy. It [Diaz] is an important development that should be taken seriously.” Hermino Diaz, one of the great crack shots for the Cubans, has been labeled as one of the deadliest Cuban political assassins, and therefore can be seen a point in how the Cubans killed President Kennedy.
This past Saturday, October 17th in the 23900 block of Avalon Blvd in Carson, California, yet another victim of the massive racial fight genocide in our South Central Community was shot and killed. 15 year old Latino boy; Adalberto Saucedo III. According to a source’s comment at The Homicide Report’s website, Monica described Alberto as “a loving kid, he loved his two brothers and they looked up to him”. I can’t help to pose the question: what could Alberto have done to deserve this? However, based on the information provided by the LAPD, we will probably never know and he will become another sad statistic.
In class we discussed how Latinos have very low death rates but it is unknown if this may change because of the police shooting at suspicious people when in reality many of them are innocent. The "lack of economic opportunities" can lead to mortality especially amongst Latinos because "individuals with low socioeconomic standing tend to die at higher rates and live shorter lives..."(Rios 93, Saenz 57). In Human Targets Rios explains that Flaco had gotten his support to gain employment, but the economic standing of his family left him alone with nothing and lead to him committing suicide(92). The attacks that the police make towards the Latinos they believe are a threat can lead to the death of the suspect. Victor Rios mentioned that "a boy nicknamed Silent experienced a raid in which the feds pointed a gun over his aunt 's

Prior to the creation of SB1070, Arizona has had many incidents of undocumented immigrants crossing its borders. Until the early 20th century, the U.S government took over the responsibilities of immigration control (Carroll, 2011). According to Chin and Miller (2011), harboring aliens or undocumented immigrants into the United States is considered a felony crime. Originally within the federal jurisdiction to handle such immigration offenses, the shift of responsibilities has now been shared with the state of Arizona (Chin and Miller, 2011). To prevent undocumented immigrants from crossing the borders and combat many smuggling cases of undocumented immigrants, vigilantism was motivated within the state of Arizona through the criminalization of undocumented immigrants (Frassinelli, Frenkell, & Watson, [Immigration and “Operations”: The Militarization (and Medicalization) of the US-Mexico Border] 2011).

Along with acts of terrorism the cartels committed heinous crimes against the civilian population of Mexico. On September 15, 2008, cartel gang members threw grenades at a group of citizens during an Independence Day celebration killing 8 people. This was the first act of violence they performed against innocent bystanders. Los Zetas leader Carlos Castillo ordered an attack on The Casino Royale in Monterrey, and with the assistance of Nuevo Leon State police officer Miguel Angel Barraza Escamilla. They brutally murdered l52 people and burning the casino to the ground taking people's lives and jobs.
