El Paso Times
The wave of killings has not slowed in Juárez, with more than 35 homicides in the first four days of October.

Victims include a 9-year-old girl, a female police officer and five men killed in a Saturday shooting at a gas station.

The girl, identified as Laisa Flores Carrillo, and 24-year-old Elvia Lopez were killed Thursday night when gunmen fired 31 rounds at a Dodge Ram 2500 in the Paseos de Zaragoza area in east Juárez, Chihuahua state police said.

A man, another woman and a boy were wounded in the shooting.

On Friday, Chihuahua state police crime scene investigator Claudia Elizabeth Valdez Reyes, 27, was shot and killed Friday on a sidewalk, officials said. She had started to work for the state police in January.

At about 1 p.m. Saturday, five men were killed at a gas station in colonia Altavista. One man was next to a red 2003 Hummer H2 while the other victims were shot to death in the station's restroom, police said.

Police said that only one victim, Javier Mercado Castañeda, 47, had been identified.

The number of murders is on pace with last month. September ended with an unofficially tally of at least 300 homicides. There were more than 300 homicides in August.
