The police chief of the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez has submitted his resignation after a string of killings, including those of some of his top officers, officials said.
City spokesman Sergio Belmonte said Public Safety Director Guillermo Prieto would be replaced by a military officer on leave from the armed forces, but did not give a name.
Homicide rates have risen in this city across from El Paso, and at least seven police commanders have been killed in suspected drug violence.
