WASHINGTON - OhioPen -- By Stan Fitzgerald Legacy PAC Founding Partner:

On February 15, 2011, ICE/HSI Special Agents Victor Avila and Jaime Zapata were ambushed by 8 members of Los Zetas Cartel while on official assignment in Mexico. Special Agent Zapata tragically lost his life in the line of duty while Special Agent Avila survived multiple gunshots.

About three weeks prior to the incident the U.S Embassy had issued an alert stating not to travel on highway 57. The alerts and intelligence were ignored by Avila's supervisors who ordered the mission. On highway 57 Two SUVs with armed cartel rammed them off the agents off highway and through a slightly opened window shot the agents with an AK-47 and handgun. After 40 minutes of waiting for a helicopter Zapata succumbed to his injuries in the San Luis Potosi hospital.
