Three American teenagers living in El Paso (Texas) were killed on Saturday in Ciudad Juarez, across the border with Mexico, as reported by Mexican media today. According to the story of their families who have called for an investigation and repatriation of bodies, Carlos Mario González Bermúdez, Yalin Cesar Miramontes and Juan Carlos Echeverry Jimenez Jr., 16, 17 and 15 years respectively, were eating tacos next to a dealer when four armed men asked for the owner of the business and, receiving no answer, opened fire.
Relatives explained that since the dealer had offered some tires for a car, why they came. "They were looking car when the gunmen arrived and asked for the owner. As it was, they shot my son and his friends," said the father of one of the teen, whose identity remains anonymous for security reasons.
The newspaper El Universalinforma that these families have requested an explanation from the Mexican authorities, after arguing that the young men were innocent. They have also asked the bodies to the relevant state agency. The scene is near the Rio Grande, which is the natural border between Mexico and the United States.
This triple murder is one of 23 crimes committed during this past weekend in the city, one of the hardest hit by drug trafficking.
