TEPOZTLAN, Mexico - The Mexican government’s war on drugs crashed a reputed drug cartel's Dec. 11 Christmas party and netted Latin Grammy winner Ramon Ayala during a dangerous shootout that left three dead.
Ayala, the Texas-based norteño singer, was performing in a gated community of mansions outside the mountain town of Tepoztlan when a raid was carried out as part of the government's campaign to crack down on drug gangs. Ayala was detained and questioned at length on Saturday Dec. 12, and then released. Officials say they found no grounds for criminal charges.

MADISON, Wis. - During what police say was a 20-year killing spree in Milwaukee, Walter Ellis left his DNA behind all along the way — everywhere but the one place where it might have saved a life.
Ellis should have given a DNA sample to the state crime databank during a prison stint in the early part of this decade, but he had another inmate pose as him, authorities say.
As a result, when analysts tried to identify DNA in bodily fluids from one of the slayings back in 2003, no matches turned up.
Investigators didn't connect Ellis to the crimes until this fall, when they seized genetic material from his toothbrush. By then, it was too late for the woman police say was Ellis' seventh and final victim.
"If they would have got his DNA when they were supposed to get it, maybe my cousin would still be here," said Sarah Stokes, whose cousin, 28-year-old prostitute Ouithreaun Stokes, was found beaten and strangled in an abandoned rooming house in 2007.
