Seen: Photo from the murder scene of Bobby Salcedo on Dec. 31st in Mexico.

The investigation into the murder of El Monte School official Augustin "Bobby" Salcedo has taken a nightmarish turn tonight.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting in Sunday's edition that Manuel Acosta, the lead investigator in the slaying in Mexico of Salcedo has been killed in a brutal ambush.

Times Reporters Tracy Wilkenson and Jill Leovy are reporting that it was not clear whether the death of Acosta will have any effect on the case, in which little progress had been reported. Authorities would not speculate on whether Acosta's killing was related to Salcedo's.

The details of the murder of Investigator Acosta are just being made public, but he was slain back on Jan. 15 by gunmen in a five-seat red pickup truck, the kind frequently used by drug traffickers. He was hit as he returned to his office from another deadly crime scene.

The Salcedo Family held an emotional interview with CNN on around earlier in January and predicted that those responsible for Bobby's murder would probably "never be caught." Little did they know, that just a couple of days after they made that profound public statement, that the main person repsonsible for solving this crime would be brutally murdered himself.

Acosta, 42, survived comatose and in critical condition but on Tuesday he died. According to Mexican official Acosta's injuries included multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and torso. His death was first was reported in the Milenio newspaper in a dispatch from Gomez Palacio and confirmed Saturday to the Times by Martin Chavez, spokesman for the city.

Here is the link to the entire article in the Sunday LA Times. This is a huge set back in this murder investigation, and it makes me wonder, if this crime will ever be solved.
