A Santa Muerte, or Grim Reaper pendant is displayed next to guns and ammunition magazines seized by the Mexican Army during a presentation of suspected gunmen and kidnappers to the press in Tijuana, Mexico on December 2, 2008. According to Mexican army authorities, the suspects could be involved in three days of violence that left 37 people dead in this border city plagued by warring drug gangs, including nine men found decapitated and four children who were caught in the middle of shoot-outs.
