Body of Texas teen found in Mexico intersection
UNDATED (AP) — Mexican police have found the the body of a slain Texas teenager in the violent border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
Police say the body of the 19-year-old El Paso woman was dumped yesterday at a Juarez intersection. Her throat had been cut.
Her name hasn’t been released, but police are investigating whether her killing is related to drug dealing.
She was the fourth U.S. citizen slain this month in the bloody Mexican border city across the Rio Grande from El Paso. Despite the presence of thousands of soldiers, the city is one of Mexico’s most violent, with more than 800 killings related to the drug trade this year.
Elsewhere, police in the western state of Michoacan (mihk-wah-KAHN’) found the bodies of five men in a hole on a remote dirt road near the city of Apatzingan. The bodies were blindfolded, gagged and showed signs of torture and multiple gunshot wounds — trademarks of drug-related homicides.
