Four American citizens on their way to Matamoros, Mexico found themselves amid a shootout between rival cartels when they were taken against their will. The two survivors told authorities the group was surrounded and abducted after venturing into the fight. Authorities found the four victims, two of them deceased, in a wooden shack guarded by a man on Tuesday. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber breaks it all down with Steve Murphy and Javier Peña, the DEA agents who caught notorious drug trafficker Pablo Escobar.

🤯 y’all go to war with ppm in flip flops but scared to go over the border shits sad af
Yea
We have a drug problem in the United States and in Mexico it's all fueled by money. Got a bunch of krupt people getting money to keep it Rollin. That's the problem
The corruption is
Mistaken identity I don't believe that they have no right to take innocent lives it's not going to end until the government on both sides grow some ball's and confront the cartels head on.
I'm in mexico all the time And I'm not talking about the resorts. I feel safer there than many cities in the US. Trust me there's more to that story they weren't innocent victims.
Amazing how the media still is treating this like 4 innocent Americans were killed. Obviously not after looking into the details and backgrounds of these 4. They were there for drugs, period. She was not scheduled for surgery, had a huge load of cash, all 4 unemployed.. ??? Long rap sheets for drug offences. They stated that the 3 guys joined her for "moral support" for a surgery that the doctor stated she was never scheduled for. Need I go on? ANd if was a kidnapping why just leave 2 alive with no attempt to get paid. Check out some of the channels who ACTUALLY deep dive into these type cases with cartels and judge for yourself. IM not condoning the killings but let's at least put out the accurate details to not mistake innocent for people involved in the drug business, American or not
I heard that the cartel has been beefing with Haitian smugglers.. wrong place wrong time it sounds like 😢.
Is worth but you're never going to do nothing about it talk B's!
Obama's answer to Mexico's problems was to send the cartels weapons. Lots of them and the attorney general was involved too. So why in the hejj do we think its going to stop.esp when th y are letting millions of unvetted people in this country along with other terrorist's from the many countries we have treated as our right to control govern or make war upon. Brandons best work is how he brought thousands of military age men into our country. And no one knows where they go.
It was a cover up… they tried to set up the cartel and got caught eating cheese… bullet proof vest to get a tummy tuck? Remember the media lied about cough19… just think for yourself
He said a good thang they get out ran by them but all that corruption is thanks to america that suppostly fighting corruption stoppp we have so much knowledge why we can stop what goes down in $ and guns thats where everything is getting paid from so really who got to make the move us
These ppl say I got experience such years well we live these so who really knows you that got the knowledge to study and don't do nothing but just talk or us as citizens who live these every day and just cuz these media talk about it because they got time doin research don't mean u really on the line is not the same being out here then sitting in a office talking trash
These issue starts in addiction thanks to the government making a addiction on usa and guns really that's where power comes into mx because in mx there is no one store I know they allow guns so where guns come from and third the D.E.A who just was working in mx got alot to do with working allowing by tons to come thru and republicans knew these but do they gaf Noo and they still got the nerve to blame them is the issue way bigger than just what they say on the media
These guy really said pepper spray lol
For sure drugs was involved in their death ..
Nothing Mexico does surprises me but what does, is people that NEVER LISTEN TO WARNINGS BY FBI AND HOMELAND SECURITY TO AVOID THESE PLACES. These 2 people did not need to die had the one that wanted the tummy tuck LISTENED TO HER FAMILY WHEN THEY TOLD HER NOT TO GO. She will end up with a movie deal from Netflix for sure.
This guy advertising pepper spray on a cartel video. Pepper spray is something a lady would keep in her purse after leaving a late night workout at a local LA fitness
Cartels really seem to fit definitions of terrorist organizations. They constantly explode "weapons of mass destruction " (drugs). Gun violence, torture, murder. How is this different from the taliban in Afghanistan? U.S went to war then.
All four people / victims have long drugs and violent criminal records in the USA 🇺🇸 AND travel to Mexico yearly for”plastic surgery” AND the women’s children was taken from her because one got sick and the hospital found drugs in the child system AND they told the girl they left behind in Texas that they would be back in 15 minutes. You cannot get a tummy tuck in 15 minutes! This is obviously a drug deal gone wrong❗️
The Mexican President works for the Cartels
Looking like the BPM come to life. 🧐👀
this is terrible. I would NEVER travel to Mexico. It's too unsafe. It's a lawless country.
The Mexican Government is complacent and Needs to be held accountable. Biden better do a better job at protecting those responsible for his elections. My people are growing restless.
Big pharma bought government in Us So it’s similar
Drug deal gone bad, those 4 Americans had drug criminal records in the United States.
Is it true that they are using/buying military grade weapons from Americans?
Drug debt paid with consequences.Prove me wrong.
So horrible for the victims and it is also sad that the innocent community in Mexico will also have to suffer consequences for the actions of certain bad people.
Bro y’all obviously never been to Mexico no one doing nothing cause they also don’t want to die or get kidnapped. Your in their territory they got dat lock & loaded like y’all said they don’t hesitate to pull the triggers dats just em. Just be glad 2 of em actually made it back to U.S. soil period! I’m sorry bout y’all ppl should never happen but it happens to the best of us. May the soul rest in peace.
I’m wondering why there is no more coverage in the latest news about this case. All of them had criminal records and they didn’t travel to Mexico first. They drove from SC to California and then to Northern Mexico. Plus, isn’t it weird that 3 men accompanied a single woman for a beauty procedure? 🤔 what for? I’m not saying that their lives didn’t matter and that the incident is justified. I’m just saying that there’s more to this history than just innocent tourist at the wrong place 🤷🏻♀️
Like the surgery would have made a difference!
Its something else that was going on for them to leave two alive…like the interviewee said there was no sense of urgency to collect them!Also ive never seen ANY CARTEL give someone back alive AND or turn their own in.??? The Cartel isn't "sorry" their moves are very well calculated and thought out.
Cartel, Isis, Talibab, alqaeda, Hezbolla, Basig, IRGC… Are all Terrorists
I'm sure she was beating herself up for a tummy tuck decision and how it didn't worth it
I think the “Haitian drug smuggler” angle is a lie.
