Murder near Albuquerque drug cartel-related, sheriff says

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White says violence from the Mexican drug wars in Ciudad Juarez is spilling over into the Albuquerque area.

White says deputies are dealing with a spike in drug trafficking in the metro area, and he says that the drug cartels are behind at least one murder in town.

Deputies say 53-year-old Danny Baca was shot more than 20 times and his body burned. They believe it was all a result of Baca double-crossing one of the Mexican cartels in Ciudad Juarez by taking a load of marijuana to Albuquerque instead of dropping it off in El Paso, Texas.

White says there's a high amount of violence in New Mexico and drug runners are being arrested on a weekly basis in Albuquerque, which is directly connected to the cartels.
