The attack took place at Gabino’s bar, located on a main boulevard of the city across from El Paso, Texas, said a spokesman for Chihuahua state prosecutors’ office. Prosecutors have not established a motive in the killings. Six months ago, four men were killed in a shooting at the same bar.

Also on Monday, soldiers arrested a suspect linked to at least 27 killings in Ciudad Juarez, the Defence Department said in a statement. It said Eduar Vera, 30, told investigators he is a member of “La Linea,” a group of hit men working for the Juarez drug cartel, and has personally killed at least 27 people in Ciudad Juarez and kidnapped 14 others that he turned over to be killed by a local street gang.
