Streets of Blood
A section of the city was gripped with terror yesterday when a series of shootings occurred within one block of each other, resulting in five deaths and one critical injury. It is currently unknown whether the shootings are linked and, if so, then how. This is Mexico so drugs are always a possibility, but police stated that none of the decedents were armed, so it was a series of assassinations rather than a gunfight. Witnesses described two groups of assailants: two who approached on foot and escaped on a motorcycle and three guys in a chevy pickup. The first two corpses (male in sweatpants and woman in rainbow colored shirt) were walking together when the motorcycle guys started firing at them. The man was shot in the head and killed instantly. According to witnesses the girl screamed quite loudly and took off running in terror when her boyfriend's head blew up and she did manage to get a little distance. The assassins fired five times as she fled, grazing her shoulder and then catching her in the back/side of her head. The second group of four people were all standing and talking on the corner when the men in the truck opened fire and they scattered. The three males present were all killed and the woman lying amidst them was shot in both legs and remains in critical condition. All of the decedents are in their mid 20's to early 30's. UPDATE: The media is being rather circumspect with the names in this case and Mexicans make it ruthlessly tough to track down antemortem details (they usually use pseudonyms on social media and keep their friend lists shuttered) in murder cases. Going through rather great lengths to find antemortem images is something I pride myself on and probably my single greatest strength as a researcher for this shit. It probably isn't worth the time for most people, but I find these cases FAR more interesting when antemortems of the victims are found. Anyway, after a great deal of searching and digging, I finally managed to ID and find antemortem photos of the young couple in the first set of images. Still working on the larger group. But the antemortem photos included at the bottom pertain to the guy in the sweat pants and the girl in the rainbow shirt. She was 25, he was 34. |

Re: Streets of Blood
Nah, just the two. The side shot was pretty easy to dig up when it happened. Most news outlets omitted or heavily censored the rear shot of her ,though, so I was fairly lucky to manage to snag a decent quality image of that one. Most of them looked more like this: But I've been researching the case for three days now and have found no additional photos of her. |
