A former leading member of a Mexican drug cartel has been killed by gunmen dressed as clowns, the BBC reports.

Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix was shot in the head and chest at a family party in the tourist resort of Cabo San Lucas.

In the 1990s, Felix and his brothers controlled the drug trade on the Mexican-U.S. border, and experts believe his sister and nephew now run the Tijuana cartel.
