Mexican beauty queen killed in shootout
By Martin Duran - Associated Press
CULIACAN,
Mexico (AP) — A 20-year-old state beauty queen died in a gun battle
between soldiers and the alleged gang of drug traffickers she was
traveling with in a scene befitting the hit movie "Miss Bala," or "Miss
Bullet," about Mexico's not uncommon ties between narcos and beautiful
pageant contestants.
The body of Maria Susana Flores Gamez
was found Saturday lying near an assault rifle on a rural road in a
mountainous area of the drug-plagued state of Sinaloa, the chief state
prosecutor said Monday. It was unclear if she had used the weapon.
"She was with the gang of criminals, but we cannot say whether she participated in the shootout," state prosecutor Marco Antonio Higuera said. "That's what we're going to have to investigate."
