Soldiers at scene crime in Paseo Triunfo de la Rebublica, a main avenue of Ciudad Juarez, where a man was just shot dead in his car while he was waiting in the traffic jam.
Soldiers moved into Ciudad Juarez to try to regain control of a city in which more than 2,000 people have been murdered over the past year.
Officials say they intend to have 7,000 troops and police in position by the end of the week.
Rival gangs are battling for control of the city, which is a key entry point for drug smuggling into the US.
