The body of an alleged drug dealer lies covered by a sheet after being shot outside his home in Tijuana, on Mexico's northern border on 6 September. In a wave of violence following President Felipe Calderón's crackdown on drug cartels, decapitated and bullet-riddled bodies began to appear in Tijuana and other cities on drug transit routes. Many attributed this to reprisal killings of people believed to be informants.
