The heads of police commander Mario Nunez Magana and officer Jesus Alberto Ibarra were found at the same site where four drug traffickers died during a shootout with law enforcement.

Local scribes, police fight at
Wild fighting erupted between police and local journalists on the field during the lunch break in the second Test between Australia and Bangladesh.
The trouble followed the bashing by a policeman of a leading Bangladesh sports photographer as he tried to enter Chittagong Divisional Stadium this morning.
Anger descended into open brawling at the side of the field at the luncheon interval with journalists being kicked and struck with the butt of police rifles.
The ugly scenes threaten any possibility of international cricket returning to the port city in the nation's south after Australia's tour and the International Cricket Council will look into the matter.
ICC match referee Jeff Crowe said the sport's governing body will be doing its best to ensure the safety of the Australian team.
"I guess you could say it's a black mark against Chittagong, the venue here and obviously to the security," he said.
"We'll obviously asked for security people to make sure these areas (in the players' stand) are controlled much more strongly . . . because you'd hate to see the scuffling that was going on around the place to enter the environment of the players area.
"It was pretty unnerving for the umpires not knowing what was going on."
The majority of the local press went on strike for the day after the trouble and threatened to boycott the rest of the Australian tour.
At least ten reporters and photographers were left bloodied and battered and five went to a clinic for treatment.
The situation degenerated when the angry journalists went to stage a second protest on the ground during lunch after calling for the responsible officer to be stood down from his duties.
Dozens of fuming scribes went out to voice their anger on the pitch but were met by police and wild brawls broke out like spot fires at the side of the ground.
The police showed little restraint by singling out and surrounding journalists and belting them in savage fashion.
The media mob then streamed onto the ground before going into the Bangladesh team's change room to voice their protests.
Bangladesh coach Dav Whatmore was disappointed by the violence.
"It is not good is it, international cricket was held up because of other reasons, it is not good I have not seen that before in cricket in my three years (here)," said Whatmore.
The drama delayed the start of play for the second time after journalists initially protested before the start of play by sitting next to the pitch.
