A convicted hit man who killed for the Mexican Mafia and is serving decades in state prison was given a police escort to a meeting in downtown Los Angeles to address a group of local police chiefs and wealthy business leaders, authorities acknowledged.

Sources said the purpose behind the appearance of Rene Enriquez was to give first-hand insight to the group about the inner-workings of the criminal enterprise. Enriquez, who is known as "Boxer," worked his way up from enforcer to shot caller in the organization also known as La Eme before his arrest and conviction. He is currently serving two 20-to-life sentences for murder.
