MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN) — Police in northern Mexico’s Chihuahua state found the body of Villa Ahumada’s police chief, Jesus Blanco Cano, on a nearby ranch about 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of El Paso, Texas, state officials said.

Blanco had been on the job for less than two days. Federal police and soldiers were sent to the town last spring after the previous police chief was killed. No one has been arrested, the officials said.
