#1 They have ID'ed an un-named US citizen. Doesn't sound like a cartel hit. And you wouldn't open a car door to an armed stranger in Mexico. Ergo, he knew the perp and ID'ed him to the cops.

#3 It has been reported that the perp shot once. The attacker doesn't appear to try to approach the official while he is walking, but instead waits for him to exit the parking garage in his vehicle and fires a round into the car's windshield. The perp does not appear to be a professional hit man with only one shot into the windshield from some distance away.
