Extrajudicial Killing In Tamaulipas? National Guard Kills 2 Then Reportedly 'Plants' Evidence at the Scene

Residents of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, confronted elements of the National Guard (GN) after a shootout in which they were involved that left two people dead. Witnesses say that elements of the GN shot and killed a man who was driving a truck and a woman who was a street vendor.

Reports say that the shootout occurred on the streets of Ocampo and Victoria, in the historic center of the city, just two blocks from the International Bridge that connects with Laredo, Texas.

The driver of a blue car, a 42-year-old customs broker named Jorge Alberto Rivera Cardoza, died of a gunshot to the head. The other victim, a woman of unknown identity, was outside a church when she was killed in the crossfire.

After the events, residents of Nuevo Laredo protested against the GN, assuring that they tried to "plant" weapons, a bag with drugs, and radio communication equipment in Rivera's car.

Local reports say that the people who were there took these objects and tried to hand them back to the GN. However, the GN refused and chose to leave the scene.

The Nuevo Laredo Human Rights Committee (CDHNL) filed a complaint with Mexico's National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) against the GN. In addition, they blamed the officers for trying to tamper the crime scene by "planting" ammunition, drugs, and communication devices.

Recent events

This incident comes a few days after 30 Mexican Navy members were ordered arrested over the disappearance of an unspecified number of people in Tamaulipas. Prosecutors say the victims went missing when the marines deployed in the border city of Nuevo Laredo.

The marines were handed over to the attorney general's office last Friday "in compliance with arrest warrants... for the alleged crime of forced disappearance of persons", the Navy said in a statement. No details have been made public.

Enforced disappearances are rarely fully investigated in Mexico and almost all cases are left unsolved. Thousands of victims end up unidentified in morgues across the country or buried in clandestine graves. Corrupt security forces are suspected of involvement in many of the disappearances, either to cover up wrongdoings that led to deaths or in collusion with criminal organisations who hold the victims for ransom, activists say.

Tamaulipas, one of Mexico's most violent states, has one of the highest rates of missing persons in the country. Many of the disappearances take place on roads leading to the US.

The city of Nuevo Laredo is the headquarters of the Northeast Cartel (Cartel del Noreste, CDN), a faction of the old Zetas cartel.

  2. Curious as to why many extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances from authorities happen out of Nuevo Laredo. My guess is security forces are just killing CDN members on their own hands because they know they will probably get out of prison or continue to kill more. It's wrong, I know... but that's how war is I guess.

    1. This section go the Mexican army probably has Influence from other cartels that depend on the N Laredo corridor so they’re going all at it trying to keep CDN unstable and facilitate crossing drugs but that’s all speculation 🙃🙃🙃

    2. But 2:33 the lady selling tamales belonged to no cartel, furthermore the driver was also innocent and dead. Witnesses saw the Nat guard plant stuff on them.

  5. We don't know about Neuvo Laredo the CDN are known to lie about innocent people getting killed when in reality they are active members of their criminal group. We seen it already when the Trevinos got killed where their daughter was saying they were innocent.

    The Guardia National is the Policia Federal nothing has changed except for the names and uniforms they are known to be corrupt. So you can't really know.

  8. It seems like its always been personal between CDN/Z and Marine/GN etc,as someone said,its war and war is brutal no matter what conventions say,but,the upholders of law and order cannot kill anyone they feel like on a personal whim,if one does,then all his brothers have to partake in that cover up and lie.Its then a very slippery slope into everyone killing on a whim.A people has to support its upholders of law,they make mistakes,they are dishonest but we have to believe in them,if not,how much worse do you want it ?

  10. No preservation of evidence. These people are out of control. I guess that's what happens when you act out of emotions.
