2009年12月8日清晨，洪都拉斯反毒主管、前军方准将Julián Arístides González在送17岁女儿上学后返程遇伏：灰色厢型车前堵、绿色SUV后夹、左侧机车双载，后座枪手透过驾驶座车窗连开6枪，他当场死亡。参与伏击者「十余人」迅速回收弹壳并撒放诱饵弹壳，随后驶入警方总部「屠宰场」大门，显示警队内部涉案程度之深。
警方高层在案发前8天于指挥官办公室密谋，录影显示他们已锁定4名可能枪手并长期监控其固定通勤模式。案发前一晚，他们打开一袋25万美元现金，先分出2万美元给执行枪手，其余自行瓜分，并致电出资的贩毒集团首脑要求「注意明天新闻」。内务单位搜集的录影、逐字稿与证词报告不久后整包消失，直到6年半后才再度现身。
事后两个月内，遗孀Leslie在特古西加尔巴繁忙道路遭机车枪手射击但未受伤；2010年女儿赴美就读乔治城大学，Leslie试图调往华府使馆但签证流程被拖延。2011年末，同僚Alfredo Landaverde在电视点名涉案警察高层后约2小时即遭同样模式暗杀，引发全国对警队改革的压力；6天后，Leslie与Landaverde遗孀共同拜访检察总长要求彻查，随后受邀赴国会作证，主动拉拢她们的政客名为Juan Orlando Hernández。
On Dec. 8, 2009, Honduras’ anti-drug chief and former brigadier general Julián Arístides González was ambushed after dropping his 17-year-old daughter at school. A van blocked him, an SUV boxed him in, and a two-man motorcycle pulled alongside; the passenger fired six shots through the driver-side window, killing him instantly. More than a dozen participants then gathered spent casings and scattered decoys, before driving straight into the national police headquarters, signaling deep institutional involvement.
An internal-affairs unit had secretly recorded a planning meeting eight days earlier, where commanders discussed selecting four triggermen and tracking González’s rigid daily routine. The night before the killing, they opened a duffel bag with $250,000, set aside $20,000 for the shooters, and divided the rest among themselves, then called a cartel boss to watch the news “tomorrow.” Afterward, the full evidence packet—recordings, transcripts, interviews—vanished, staying hidden for six and a half years.
The aftermath followed a tightening timeline of intimidation: within two months, González’s widow, Leslie, was shot at from a motorcycle but survived; in 2010 their daughter moved to the US for Georgetown. In late 2011, colleague Alfredo Landaverde publicly named police commanders on TV; roughly two hours later he was killed in a similar motorcycle attack, fueling demands for police reform. Six days after that, Leslie and Landaverde’s widow pressed the attorney general, then were invited to Congress by an aspiring “reformer,” Juan Orlando Hernández.
