At Rest

Deadly force
Partido Revolucionario Mexicano, a U.S. prison gang, contracted with the Gulf Cartel to retrieve marijuana stolen from the cartel. Deputies pulled over a truck driven by gang members. Perez shot Deputy Hugo Rodriguez, then shot at Deputy Manuel Morales. Rodriguez fatally shot Perez. Two bound men, reportedly the marijuana thieves, were found inside the truck. Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino was taking bribes from the Gulf Cartel. A number of his subordinates were involved in drug trafficking.
This record exists so that Daniel Perez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
