City of Socorro Texas officials are proposing a crackdown of speeding motorists in the wake of the recent deaths of two Socorro High School students. Jesus Xavier Garcia, 17, was killed early Saturday in Horizon City Texas. Garcia's death came a week after Adriana Mendoza, 14, was killed when the car in which she was a passenger also ran a red light at of Joe Battle Boulevard and Pellicano Street, according to El Paso police. Garcia was a senior at Socorro High, where Adriana was a freshman. Socorro City Councilman Sergio Cox, a former El Paso police officer, said he has spoken to other council members and city officials about initiating a program in the police department to target speeders. "We're going to be more aggressive with radar enforcement," Cox said. "These kids are barely learning how to drive. There's no way they can emulate race-car drivers."
