So Puerto Libertad dreamer/developer Craig was rerouted from Santa Ana to the road to aTubutama and on to Sasabe. Where his car was machine gunned. Glad he made it! A real nice guy! “
TUCSON, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) - An Arizona man got caught up in violence along a stretch of the border that Arizona’s Family has been reporting on extensively. Drivers are seeking alternate routes, with the main crossing down to Rocky Point still closed. However, there have been warnings about one option through Sasabe, where smuggling gangs are at war.
Craig Ricketts took that route south of the border in Mexico and got ambushed. Ricketts has worked in Mexico for more than two decades, but for the past seven years, he’s been working in Puerto Libertad, building a real estate development. On Christmas Eve, he was making his way to his son, who lives in Tempe, but because of the Lukeville checkpoint closure, he took the route to the Sasabe border, one of the most dangerous regions of the state. “I certainly didn’t intend to visit my extended family with them coming here, but that’s exactly what happened,” he said.
