KCBD-TV
 When Debbie Shedd noticed her son, 27-year-old Jeremy Shedd, had not returned to Lubbock from his Brownfield Police Department shift, her motherly instincts kicked in. She called Shedd's phone, and a police officer answered to confirm her worst fears. Police said 26-year-old Sergio Vazquez from Denver City was traveling south in his truck, when he crossed the median into Shedd's lane. They had a head-on collision, and both later died.

Few people in law enforcement circles had heard of Juan Saenz Tamez until his capture was announced by prosecutors. The arrest of the 23-year-old Saenz showed just how far one of Mexico's longest-running crime groups has fallen — and how splintered operations have become — for a syndicate that pushes tons of cocaine and other drugs into Texas.
