Superman? Batman? Anybody? No superheroes were present when the infamous drug lord Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix was reigning the streets. The oldest brother for the Arellano Felix cartel was shot in the chest and head by an unusual assassin: a clown. As ludicrous as that may sound, this occurred at the Cabo San Lucas Resort in Baja California. Although the motive of the disguised assassin is still unclear, one could assume that it was because of the enormous drug cartel that he and his brothers ran for decades. The cartel not only ruined many lives because of their extravagant drug distribution, but also the brutality and the murder of innocent civilians, along with law enforcement and members of competing drug cartels. Although Francisco may not have been one of the top influences of the cartel due to his numerous years spent in prison, he had left his mark on people's lives. It is said that the cartel is now ran by Francisco's sister Enedina and her son Fernando - who is referred to as the "The Engineer"- for quite some time now. If a clown could murder one of the members of a lucrative drug cartel, then one could assume that inviting a clown to your only child's sixth birthday is not of the greatest ideas. All jokes aside, this brave man committed a heroic deed that many men wish they could have done themselves.
