A couple and their
three children were assassinated in Michoacán.
It is the fifth family gunned down in the last two weeks in the country.
Criminal groups in
Mexico had previously avoided attacking the families of their rivals. But in recent weeks, armed men have indiscriminately
assassinated fathers, mothers, and their children.
Michoacán state
prosecutors reported on Friday, July 22, that the latest killings occurred in
the town of Arteaga, a town infested with drug trafficking and was once the
headquarters of the leader of the Caballeros Templarios.
One person survived the
attack perpetrated by unidentified gunmen, and is receiving medical care in the
hospital.
In Oaxaca, a couple and their son were killed this week in the city of Juchitán. A handwritten message left at the scene
hinted that the crime was related to a dispute between criminal organizations.
Three days earlier,
eight adult members of a family were killed in the popular tourist resort of Puerto
Escondido, Oaxaca. The attorney general
said that the victims were shark fishermen and the initial line of
investigation was to find out whether they were involved in other activities
offshore.
Earlier this month, in
Tamaulipas, on the border with the United States, two families were gunned down
in separate attacks.
In the first incident,
gunmen entered a house and killed 11 members of a family, including four girls,
as they slept. In the second attack,
five members of a family, two women and three minors, were killed in their home
by armed intruders.
Since then, violence
has not ceased in Tamaulipas, across the border with Texas.

ReplyDeleteThis is a premature, unjust, and dangerous mentality that has long been convenient for politicians and mafiosos. Thousands of extortion and kidnap victims who could not pay have had their entire families killed only to intimidate future victims and the mentality that every victim of murder is criminal is what has keeps Mexican justice from progressing and furthers mafia's intimidation, power and profits. Until every murder is investigated thoroughly and progresses through judiciary gangs and mafias will thrive as they do in areas of Central America, all over Venezuela and Trinidad, and many poor areas of American cities.
DeleteI totally agree with your point of view CDM that there are many innocents at stake.In the past maybe yes majority were in the game but not now as the game has changed considerably and innocents are targeted for money unfortunetly not just drug trafficking anymore.
