A Federal Judge from the State if Baja California Sur denied an amparo of protection of justice to “La China”, alleged chief of sicarios of Las Fuerzas Especiales de Los Damaso, who is currently imprisoned and being charged with the qualified homicide.

The ruling emitted in the trial of guarantees 969/2015 by a Judge of the Third District with base in in La Paz; “the justice of the union doesn’t amparo nor protect Melisa Margarita Calderon Ojeda”.

In this manner, the auto of formal prison dictated and processed today, the 23rd of September of 2015, on the part of the Judge of the first instance of the penal branch of La Paz, it would remain firm and the process will continue until judgment, although the legal reverse suffered by La China is re-buttable, the legal deadline for determining the appeal to be filed or not has already expired.

Hardly a crime

In the penal cause 17/2015 they attribute to Melissa Calderon as probably responsible in the commission of the crime of qualified homicide with premeditation in a degree of complicity of Humberto Juarez Leon “Don Maleno”, 54 years of age.

The crime attributed to the woman and her criminal gang occurred on 16th of January of last year, in a small holding of Calle Bernardo Maidonado, between Luis Barajas and Enrique Von Borstel, in the Revolucion Colonia, when she tricked “Don Maleno” with his son Jose Humberto Juarez Mora “El Pollon”.

According to records in the investigation LPZ/007/homicides/2015, “La China” and her ex boyfriend Eduardo Martin Alvarado, “El Kumi” received the orders to murder “El Pollon” and his brothers Jose Carlos “El Pala” and Jonathan Omar “El John” in the internal struggle between cells of Las Fuerzas Especiales de Los Damaso, Los Pepillos and Los 28′s. However on entering the house and trying to carry out their orders they shot the father of these men ( Otis: see link to article on this slaying).

To “La China” Calderon, 30 years of age, is linked to the executions of various people in a war between factions of criminals that Baja California Sur that has led to almost 200 victims slain in the last few years, and who authorities signal that she has no less that 20 previous investigations against her.

The last detention

La China, while being processed is imprisoned in El Centro de Reinsercion Social de La Paz, after her capture on 19th of September of 2015 (Otis: see link to article on her arrest by BB reporter Texcoco) at Cabo San Lucas airport, where she intended to leave BCS by boarding an aircraft, investigating agents were notified and confronted her with an order of apprehension for the crime against Humberto Juarez.

That afternoon, the ex chief of sicario’s was in the waiting room of the small air terminal accompanied by a pregnant 17 year old girl. When confronted by her captors, she did not offer resistance, as she had neither weapons or sicario’s with her.

The detention of Melisa Margarita Calderon was an important achievement of the PGJE of BCS, well the woman had escaped on six previous occasions when on the point of being trapped, because of the complicity of some police elements who told her of the raids and the time she should flee.

To date, the criminal case 17/2015 is the most visible of a number of cases that are being processed against “La China”, since some arrest warrants have not yet been completed.

In other cases the preliminary investigations are just being integrated. One does not know about the exercise of any criminal actions against the murderess in Federal Jurisdiction where SEIDO has charges pending for her alleged responsibility in the commission of offences against health and organized crime among others.
