Ciudad Juarez, Mexico — Mexico has arrested a third suspect in last month's massacre of 15 people in the border city of Ciudad Juarez.
Chihuahua state prosecutors say he is a former police officer believed to have worked as a hit man for the Juarez cartel.
A statement Saturday says he confessed to killing at least one victim.
On Jan. 30, armed men blocked off a dead-end street in a working class neighborhood and shot up three houses.
Many of the victims were teens with no known cartel ties, and the attack outraged even hardened residents of the violent city across from El Paso, Texas.
Investigators say the gunmen may have been acting on mistaken information
Drug violence killed over 2,300 people last year in Ciudad Juarez.
