GUNMEN dressed as clowns have shot dead one of Mexico's most powerful former drug lords while at a children's party.
Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix, 63, was attending the party during family celebrations in Cabo San Lucas, a major tourist resort in the Baja California peninsula of Mexico, AP reports.
Gunmen dressed in costumes which included a wig and a round red nose entered the party which was being held in the luxurious Casa Oceano tourist area.
Arellano Felix was hit at point blank range "by two bullets, one in the thorax and one in the head," state special investigations prosecutor Isai Arias told AP
