SOUTHLAKE, Texas — An organized, professional criminal outfit is suspected in the killing of a 43-year-old man outside the Southlake Town Square on Wednesday night, police say.

The victim was identified as 43-year-old Juan Guerrero-Chapa, a ranch owner and lawyer from Nuevo Leon, Mexico who had been residing in Southlake for two years.
While Police Chief Steve Mylett stopped short of connecting the plain-sight shooting death to a Mexican drug cartel, he did confirm that investigators believe the murder was a targeted affair conducted by professional killers.
"Obviously the nature of this homicide, the way it was carried out indicates –– and I said indicates –– an organization that is trained to do this type of activity,"  Mylett said during an afternoon news conference at the Southlake Police Department.  "When you're dealing with individuals that operate on such a professional level, certainly caution forces me to have to lean towards that this is an organized criminal activity act.
