Shooting Ambush by Cartel In Mexico, His Federal Agent Partner Was Killed and He Was Severely Injured.  Special Episode. In a chilling interview of survival amidst extreme violence and chaos during an ambush attack, a retired Federal Agent  recounts the brutal ambush orchestrated by the Zeta Cartel in Mexico, resulting in the tragic loss of his partner, Federal US I.C.E. Agent Jaime Zapata, and leaving him, Victor Avila, gravely wounded. What began as a routine assignment navigating the perilous Mexican terrain swiftly descended into a nightmare as their vehicle was forcefully diverted off the road and besieged by cartel gunmen. Gunfire erupted, engulfing the agents in a deadly confrontation where they stood vastly outnumbered and outmatched by their merciless assailants.

The haunting events of February 15, 2011, remain seared in Avila's memory as he revisits the harrowing ordeal of facing the cartel's unbridled aggression. Despite asserting their status as American diplomats, their desperate pleas went unanswered as a barrage of bullets pierced the air, leaving devastation in its wake. Zapata, displaying unwavering valor, valiantly defended himself and his comrade, yet the ferocious assault ultimately claimed his life before aid could reach them.
