MEXICALI, Calif. - A group of gunmen open fire at the residence of a mayor's family member in the desert southwest.
Mexican authorities say the armed men threw molotov cocktails, shot and lit a car on fire at the home belonging to the brother of San Luis Rio Colorado's mayor.
Mexican authorities say the shooting happened around 2am Tuesday.
Police say the aggressors left a message at the house demanding a refund of more than $200,000 for the construction of an alleged drug tunnel.
Authorities say no arrests have been made yet and say the house is being watched by members of Mexican military and municipal police.
San Luis Rio Colorado's mayor, Manuel Baldenebro Arredondo, said during a press conference that his brother is not involved in any organized crimes.
Arredondo was under fire a few months ago for offering city residents a discount on their water bill for every stray dog they take to the pound.
