MEXICO CITY — A leader of a Mexican fuel-theft gang was shot to death at a hospital where he was undergoing plastic surgery to change his appearance, authorities said Thursday.

Puebla state prosecutors said Jesus Martin, a woman and two other men were killed at the hospital Monday, apparently by members of his own gang.

The killing comes amid an upsurge in bloodshed involving pipeline thieves in the state, where at least 16 people have been slain this week in apparent disputes between gangs. The most recent killings claimed four victims on a rural road Tuesday in Palmar de Bravo, a township known as a center for fuel thieves.

Fuel thieves drill an average of 28 illegal pipeline taps every day in Mexico. State authorities have said the gang fighting has occurred in part because a police crackdown that has made it harder to steal fuel.

1. I'm guessing either liposuction or penis enlargement

[christx30]

2. Or, more likely, removing distinguishing features

to make it harder for police to detect him. Scars, tattoos, ect.

3. Aren't those distinguishing features

I'm pretty sure I'd remember them if I saw them. Plus it would play in to his vanity.

PS I'm being sarcastic as I was in the previous post. If this personally impacts you and you feel I was insensitive, I apologize if you were offended.

5. They SAY he was shot to death.

Being "dead" is a far better way to throw someone off your track than a nose job or liposuction/tummy tuck. It's certainly happened before. Just sayin'.

6. In the us the question would be...and his plan covered that?

Perhaps he was caught cause he had to go in network
