Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted March 10, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 10, 2023 The Gulf cartel apologized Thursday after two American citizens were killed during an armed abduction last week in Mexico. The cartel condemned the violence in a letter obtained by The Associated Press and said they had turned over members who were involved. A senior law enforcement official told NBC News that U.S. authorities believe the letter is legitimate. “The Gulf Cartel Grupo Escorpiones strongly condemns the events of Friday, March 3 in which unfortunately an innocent working mother died and four American citizens were kidnapped, of which two died,” a translation of the letter states. “For this reason, we have decided to hand over those involved and directly responsible for the events who at all times acted under their own determination and indiscipline and against the rules in which the CDG has always operated.” Four Americans were shot at and kidnapped after driving into Matamoros, Mexico, just south of Brownsville, Texas, for a medical procedure. Video showed a gunman dragging people into a white pickup, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the matter previously said. Tamaulipas state Gov. Américo Villarreal said at a news conference that a woman, identified by family as LaTavia Washington McGee, and a man, Eric Williams, survived the kidnapping. Both were taken to a clinic for medical treatment and returned to the U.S. by an international bridge between Matamoros and Brownsville. McGee’s mother said she had spoken to her daughter, and Williams’ wife said he had been shot in the leg but was back in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin_dry Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I won’t be going to Baja for awhile. What a public relations nightmare the cartels are creating. They’re also cutting their own throats as the majority of hotels and guests houses in vacation areas are owned by the cartels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
