An American who was in
line to cross the international bridge Reynosa - Hidalgo was murdered by criminals
trying to carjack him.
At 5:50 p.m. the report
was received by the Red Cross about person shot on the Luis Echeverría
boulevard at the height of the Riviera Eventos, about two kilometers from the
access to Hidalgo, Texas.
When the ambulance
arrived, paramedics pronounced the man dead.
Óscar Manuel Reséndez,
a married father-of-two, was returning to his home in Texas, after traveling to
the border city of Reynosa where he was visiting his family ahead of the
holidays.
The 41-year-old Endodontics
Oral Surgeon, who runs a practice in the state of Tamaulipas, was stuck in heavy
traffic with people waiting to cross the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge
when multiple gunmen approached his SUV.
Witnesses reported that
armed people tried to strip the victim of his red Escape and demanded his
keys, but Reséndez refused, stepped out of the car and confronted the gunmen causing one
of them to shoot.
[Sorry we missed this story! It happened on Christmas Eve]
ReplyDeleteDid I read that correctly that he was driving a red Ford Escape? If so, 1) that’s a low-value car for someone to bother attempting to steal, and 2) a bit surprised a dentist who one would logically assume makes good money would be driving that type of vehicle.
ReplyDeleteJust because someone has money doesn’t mean that they have to have a luxury or more expensive vehicle. That is called being humble and simple.
DeleteIt seems CDG in Reynosa didnt understood the "No Killing American Game" unlike CDN in Nuevo Laredo
ReplyDeleteFirst mistake was going to Mexico with an SUV. The last mistake was not giving them what they want. Just terrible.
ReplyDeleteA Ford Escape can get carjacked in the USA you dumbass!
DeleteFord Escape? OMG.I would have offered them a full tank of gas as well.
ReplyDeleteFord's new model: No Escape.
DeleteWhat's so hard about not killing Americans? A Ford Escape? Really?? Now the headlines are "cartel kills an American dentist". How stupid are these people? If the car has US plates, leave it alone. Seems simple enough. Smh...
ReplyDeleteI guess after being up for 5 or 6 days doin meth, shooting another American seems like a good idea. Lol...
ReplyDeleteIf you aren't armed, you don't confront someone who is armed.
ReplyDeleteHe lost his life over an insured vehicle..
I don't think American Insurance is valid in Mexico.
DeleteYou can buy it over the border. It’s like $5-$15 per day. And also some American insurances do cover u up to 20-30 miles into the border. Do ur research @6:31
DeleteThat guy looks familiar. I’ve seen him on tv I think. Target I don’t think so. Not enough info to tell just yet.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like Dean Lister, famous leg locker and grappler extraordinaire, in the top pic. I thought it was at first glance. Seems odd to "carjack" a car stuck in a line for a border crossing. Especially for a Ford Escape. Many condolences to the family.
DeleteNot many people get car jacked while stuck in line
ReplyDeleteWhat where thry going to do drive into the USA?
Defiantely authorities downplaying a kidnapping attempt.
Ford escape really ?
Imagine that. Studying whole life to become a doctor only to end up being killed by a low life scum that smells like shit and has completed two 6 grades of elementary school.
ReplyDeleteYeah dude it is a sad indictment of life there and many comments here are ptetty sad too
DeleteHe must of fought back. I am in line in matamoros, never had a problem. I carry Bowie knife and baseball bat. If they have guns they welcome to my 1999 pickup.
ReplyDeleteWonder homicides will drop in 2020,?????
ReplyDeleteSad story.
ReplyDeleteMexican thugs don’t give a shit and will kill for less.
The SUV can be replaced. He can not.
Moral of the story. Either don’t go, and if you do, be low key, don’t stand out, and give up the car of some worthless human who has nothing to loose by killing you demands your car.
Queso
He was low key and ended up dead.
DeleteDon't go to mexico? Don't you claim to live in Mexico?
DeleteCorrection ANY THUGS don't give a shit and will kill for less...
DeleteMoral of the story is it could have happened to anyone but I think there is more to this than we think
Atte.. Chile.tomate.y.cebolla
Victim was minding his own business, where's the people that say MEXICO is safe, as long as you keep your nose clean. He kept his clean. Did they still end up taking his vehicle?
ReplyDeleteMan if your getting robbed at gun point just give up your shit unless your packing and see the threat before hand. I was robbed in Cali too at gun point i just gave up my shit. But u know what im still here typing. With an even better day than i had that day. Lifes a dice game
Delete@8:32 Well said.
Delete.....nice big SUV's, black pimped out Ford F350's with those (mostly useless) dually tires.... pure bling, a flashing neon sign that says "come and steal me". You might as well be wearing a gold Rolex watch, albeit on wheels, in this lawless country. As they say, "In Rome, do as the Romans do"... my 7 year old VW Golf is a safer vehicle to drive in Mexico. My TIP sticker is in the glovebox, not on the windscreen, and there is no front license plate on my car. Why be a rolling gringo mordida Mark for every transito cop out there?
ReplyDeleteSin ofender pero por presumidos y por llamar la atencion arriesgan su vida.
DeleteThese people deserve to die. But I'm sorry what was he thinking confronting an armed group in Mexico? And refusing to give the keys of his ford escape even if it wasa Bugatti just give it up man! Clearly not worth it. Its the world we live in.
ReplyDeleteYou would think that the police would be in the area, epecially by the border.
ReplyDeletePolice r a joke, they r the Criminals
DeleteSol that is a sad comment, even from you. Let's blame the victim right?
ReplyDeleteImagine he would of handed over the keys? Nobody cares about gringos that die in Mexicox why not report all the Mexicans thay die in mexico to?? Borderlandbeat is becoming a joke!
ReplyDelete1049 your a joke yourself.
DeleteThey do report on Mexicand dying...literally every day moron. Open your eyes and pay attention before you insult hard working people who bring you this blog for free. Some people man....unreal.
DeleteLast time I checked almost every article on this site was reporting on the Mexicans who die in Mexico. You new here bud? The only joke I see is your barely literate comment.
DeleteDon't be a Willis like this guy kids. Say yes to school and say no to drugs. This has been a public service announcement brought to you by...
-Solothurn la Arma
What a gang of haters
DeleteWhat is wrong with this comment?Anyone tell me?
DeleteWhy would he resist for a stupid car it’s not worth it but I really think ther might be more to this story sounds like a hit not a car jacking in stuck traffic nowhere to go and to bring that much heat for a car doesn’t make sense
ReplyDeleteYou’re correct. He was being kidnapped and rightly fought for his life. Stupid reporting, going to take a car in line?!? Like they needed a place to sit...Hola to all and Happy New Year...
Delete"Reséndez refused, stepped out of the car and confronted the gunmen CAUSING one of them to shoot."
ReplyDeleteA little bit over the top journalism saying that the victim CAUSED his own death ??
The gunman CHOSE to shoot the American, pure and simple BORDERLAND BEAT !!
How I read it is; He has ( had) a practice in Mexico but lives in the U. S.
ReplyDeleteJust a random act. Wrong place wrong time. Poor guy
ReplyDeleteso sad, please give up your belongings if your traveling to states such as chihuahua nuevo leon or tamaulips (the last beign the worst) keep in mind there's a chance you'll be robbed when least expect it, the smart thing to do is give it up and try not to play hero your life is all it matters, i travel frequently to tijuana crossing both on foot and driving so far no issues stay low key avoid flashy jewerly, big luxury vehicles especially trucks or anything that show off wealth and you'll be fine, stay safe
ReplyDeleteChivis is right property can be replaced, but life can't.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to confront - at the very least carry, know how to use it and hit first and hit quick ... no questions.
ReplyDeleteWho says these were Mexicans?? Could have been any nationality. The Mexican people have complained that the migrants are committing many crimes and one of them is carjacking.
ReplyDeleteWonder if he had a pimped up car, if so that attracts attention, a sitting Target.
ReplyDeleteChivis can you be bothered to make the images clickable?
ReplyDeleteI usually visit on my phone and like clicking on the images so I can zoom in.
Otherwise I cannot.
jeeze give it a break. some photos are on a locked page so I use a tool to scan from page to get around it. others I can copy from source and transfer to blogger draft, use the source link to get to the original page and enlarge from there.
Deleteor you can skip my posts to avoid your frustration
I must say you are a first, no one in 8 years has written in about such a complaint. so i brushed it off as a troll.
@11:44 WTF? Zoom in?
DeleteThis guy.... 😂
Queso
Mexico has no guarantees for their nationals or tourists. Therefore, it can’t be considered a sovereign country as they claim when international intervention is offered. When Mexican nationals and tourists can’t file a formal complaint for a crime with authorities without been laughed at due to cops and government corruption at all levels, is time to condemn. Mexican Nationals have no choice but to fight back and demand respect from their authorities. Tourists have the choice to to stop traveling to Mexico not knowing if they or their loved ones will make it back home alive. Is sad that such a beautiful country end up on this situation due to greed and lack of respect from the government to its citizens.
ReplyDeleteStupid and muthafucka die over a Ford escape nigga just give up that car
ReplyDeleteMy esposo and his family were robbed last week at the u turn nearthe Nuevo Laredo paisano center by an armed group, they demanded $600, US dollars, not pesos. They gave it right away. They saw a different car not respond fast enough and they pulled them from the car at gunpoint. We drive through often and this was a first for this happening.
