Ciudad Juarez, which borders the US state of Texas, was once the deadliest city in Mexico amid a turf war between drug cartels.
More than 10,000 people have been killed in the city since 2006 but the murder rate began to decline in 2011.
Local officials say the drop in violence is due to tougher policing and crime prevention programs, but security experts believe it began to wane after the Sinaloa drug cartel defeated the rival Juarez gang.
