Mexican authorities promise to bring murders to justice for victims of gunshots in the back of the mind.
The Chihuahua Attorney General’s Office confirmed the five systems found Friday near a bridge in Chihuahua City are those of Abigael Ramos Gonzalez, Abigael Ramos Torres, Fabian Ramos Torres, Sandra Salais Calzadillas, and Francisco Ivan Flores Hernandez.
They were identified through medical records and prints. According to a statement from the AG’s Office, an autopsy revealed deadly bullet wounds to the bottom of each victim’s bone.
The five went missing after apparently taking charges from the state funds to Ojinaga, Mexico, across the frontier from Presidio, Texas. In a turf war over immigrant smuggling, a drug gang abducted and killed 13 Immigrants from another group in 2021, prompting an international press release.
How the trip- share drivers ‘ bodies ended off again in Chihuahua City, a three- hours drive from Ojinaga, remains a mystery, but state officials say they’re closing in on the answer.
” With all certainty, we have a line of investigation, we have a motive, and we have a criminal group ( identified ). The inspection is ongoing”, state Attorney General Cesar Jauregui said on Monday.
He declined to complex more. According to Mexican media sources, law enforcement officials in Chihuahua on Monday said the criminal organization Jauregui was La Linea and that the goal was to provide migrants with rides to the boundary without the regime’s permission.
La Linea is believed accountable for the Nov. 4, 2019, murder of nine British citizens, including six kids, near the Sonora- Chihuahua borders. In a civil lawsuit brought by the victims ‘ relatives, a U.S. federal judge in North Dakota in 2022 rendered a historic$ 4.6 billion judgment against La Linea.
Border Report attempted to reach some of Abigael Ramos Torres ‘ family members for reply, but their social media accounts no longer allowed information from strangers.
According to some Chihuahua officials, organized criminal organizations are exploiting Mexico’s ambiguous immigration laws to prey on immigrants and put risk on something related to their movements.
According to Chihuahua Public Safety Director Gilberto Loya,” we do n’t know who is in the state, who is crossing the state, who is really missing or who has crossed into the United States.” ” I’m no saying denounce movement, no. What I’m saying is that the absence of immigration power makes it risky for people to travel across any condition. And this is directly connected to the issue of criminal organizations stealing ( each other’s ) migrants. We do n’t know who’s here and the criminals take advantage of that to kidnap them, to extort them”.
