Mexican police have detained a gang member in the killings of three Americans.
The 45-year-old suspect was part of the Barrio Azteca gang working for the Juarez drug cartel, the AP reported.
Earlier this month, an employee of the U.S. Consulate, her husband and a Mexican citizen were killed leaving a children's birthday party in Juarez.
In other Mexico news, ten youths were killed in Durango. CNN reports that the victims, ages 18 to 21, were riding in a pickup truck and did not stop at a drug cartel's fake checkpoint.
They were coming from having picked up money to support their school as part of a federal program, CNN reported.
The Dallas Morning News examines how drug spillover has affected the border town of Fort Hancock, Texas, and Fox in Arizona reports that a rancher was found shot to death.
Also, the New York Times has a story about visiting an empty Mexico with suggestions for business travelers.
