Very thin, of average height, sport shirt, denim shorts, tennis and a dark baseball cap with the visor thrown back, ” he looked like a kid,” researchers described. His image in rapid flight initially aroused the interest of the agents who, they believed, could be one of the armed attackers.

The two members of the CAF were partying and arrived at the hotel that morning with three girls. They spent about 12 hours with them, and left the lodge around five in the afternoon. When they descended from the elevator, they ran into one of the Bustamante family escorts, who realized that Ronaldo Huerta was armed, exchanged words which ended up with bullets.

“El Bananas” fired once without hitting the target, the escort shot three times, one bullet did not reach its target, another hit its opponent in the ear and the third penetrated him in the chest.

The escort, was a military man, served in the Municipal Police of Rosarito from 2007 to 2010, a year he was integrated into the commercial police and since then he has served as an escort for the Bustamante family, owner of the Grand Hotel. 

On Monday, September 23, the Public Ministry informed him that he would be declared as “charged with wrongful death”, since he admitted that he was shot and the subject died.
                                           
As there was no flagrancy, he was not arrested and the investigation will continue until the moment in which an arrest warrant is issued or summoned for the formulation of an imputation before the judge. “The possibilities are two,  he is not eligible for legitimate defense, or responsible for homicide,” said an investigator.
