Timeline

2009

Eliseo Barrón Hernández (1973 - 27 May 2009) was a crime journalist for Milenio's La Opinión de Torreón, Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico, who was brutally beaten in front of his family in his home in Gómez Palacio, Tlahualilo, Durango on 25 May 2009, abducted, and later found dead in an irrigation ditch two days later with a gunshot wound to his head.

Eliseo Barrón began his career in journalism with the newspaper Zócalo in Acuña, Coahuila, where he worked for six months, after graduating from college. Afterwards, he worked as a reporter and photographer for La Opinión in Toreeón for over 10 years. He often covered drug trafficking and was killed for writing about a police corruption scandal two days before his death in May 2009. It was reported that 302 police and at least 20 others were fired as a result of coverage about the corruption, which is why it is seen as a motive for his murder.

Barrón was in his home in Gómez Palacio on 25 May 2009, when about eight men broke into his home at around 8 p.m., brutally beat the journalist while his wife and two children were present, and then abducted him. He was missing for one day. On 26 May 2009, his body was found in a ditch in the same locality with a gunshot wound to his head, at which time he was pronounced dead. The LA Times reports that a note was found on his dead body saying "This happened to me for giving information to soldiers and for writing too much."

Banners placed around the city of Torreón on the day of Barrón's funeral at first indicated that Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán of the Sinaloa Cartel had taken responsibility for Barrón's death as the banners threatened journalists and soldiers. However, SEDENA detained five drug cartel members in Gómez Palacio and announced on 11 June 2009 that one of the men involved in the murder said Raúl "Lucifer" Hernández of Los Zetas had ordered Barrón's murder. Three out of the five detained members of Los Zetas admitted to having participated in his murder, as well as Martha Georgina Correa Alvarado, They were later order to stand trial for the murder. who was deputy director of in the Directorate of Forensic Services.

Corruption in Durango was highlighted by the event in 2009.

Sinaloa, Durango, and Chihuahua form a "Golden Triangle" of the drug trade in Mexico, and Los Zetas have moved into the Durango and Torreón areas. In 2009, those areas were controlled by "El Chapo" Guzmán, who was reported by Forbes magazine to be one of the most powerful drug cartel leaders of Mexico.

In mid-April 2009, Mgr. Hector Gonzalez Martinez, a Roman Catholic Archbishop in Durango, indicated that "El Chapo" Guzmán had made Durango his home and said Mexican authorities were doing nothing about it. His statement was in support of an ecclesiastical statement that showed that the Mexican Drug War was having an impact on the priesthood in both deaths and in causing hundreds of priests vacating their parishes. His statement brought to public attention Guzmán's presence in the Durango area. By 2011, the same Archbishop said that Los Zetas were now in control of Durango.
