Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua: Siblings Kidnapped By Cartel Fear They Will Be Killed

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

The youngsters were traveling from Nicaragua trying to reach the United States by land when they were abducted in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

The family of siblings Heysell Lineth Martinez and Julmer Martinez are desperately looking to raise $16,000 to pay the ransom demanded by a Mexican cartel that has been holding the young men hostage since last Saturday.

“Please, dad, help us, get the money. If not, they are going to kill us. Get the money for both of us because if not, he says they are going to kill us or else they will cut off our fingers”, pleads young Heysell Martinez, crying, in a video recorded by the kidnappers, where the brothers are seen seated and with a gun pointed at their heads.

Heysell Lineth Martinez, 21, and Julmer Martinez, 23, left Nicaragua on November 13 to reach the United States. According to their family, the young men were abandoned by the coyote (guide) and fell into the hands of a Mexican cartel that initially demanded US$30,000 to free them.

The Martínez brothers are part of the largest migratory exodus in Nicaragua, which has increased in the last four years. From October 2021 to September 2022, U.S. immigration authorities detained 164,660 Nicaraguans who crossed its southern border. This number of migrants represents 224% of those apprehended in the previous year.

Heysell Lineth is a single mother and left behind a three-year-old daughter in Nicaragua. The siblings come from a peasant family from Jalapa, a town in northern Nicaragua, for whom $30,000 represents a fortune beyond their reach.

“They told us to give 30 thousand dollars, but we told them that this is a very large amount because we are people of limited resources”, expressed Libenia Martínez, sister of the kidnapped, to the Nicaraguan Radio ABC Stereo.

Finally, the kidnappers agreed to lower the ransom to 16 thousand dollars on the condition that at least five thousand dollars would be advanced to them this Monday, December 5.

“Yesterday (Monday) we deposited an advance of five thousand dollars and at night we talked to the boys, thank God their fingers and hands are good, but we still need to complete the ransom amount, ” a family member told the platform 100 Por Ciento Noticias.

A Mexican cartel kidnaped the Heysell brothers and Julmer Martínez, and their family desperately seeks to raise the ransom money.

Karla Patricia Martínez, a cousin of the kidnap victims, told local media that the family is living a nightmare. They fear that their relatives will be killed or mutilated, they must find a way to raise the money they do not have, and, on top of it all, they must deal with people who seek to take advantage of the situation.

He said they received a call from another alleged Mexican cartel demanding a different ransom, presenting the same videos that the first kidnappers had released as evidence.

Faced with the impossibility of raising the ransom with their resources, the family of the two kidnapped brothers has started a campaign to raise the money demanded their release.

“We want to make it clear to the population that we are poor families and do not want to take advantage of the situation. We merely want the money for the ransom of the boys”, explained Karla Patricia Martinez.

For this purpose, the family has set up the telephone line (+505) 5705-7374, and the bank accounts 100 2131 0102 457 in dollars of Banpro and Cordobas 117 0642 44 of La Fise in the name of Darwin Calixto Vanegas Naira.

  1. All this goes on while Elmo says violence and kidnappings are down. Weak president makes a weak government in turn creates a weak society where you stoop to kidnapping the poorest of the poor. It’s sickening. Prays for those two babies that their family had just enough to try to get them to the US for a better life and this happens. If I were an immigrant, I’d make an arrangement with whatever cartel controlled the territory to grant me safe passage. Lord knows what they’ll end up doing to those two kids. That’s what we gringos call bottom feeding. Traffic drugs leave innocent people alone.

    2. I don’t disagree with what you write although I’m curious how you’d expect to trust criminals to grant you safe passage. My biggest question is why do you and many commenters here always call out AMLO? This and other crimes have been profit centers for Mexican politicians and tolerated this since the early 1900s.

    3. You're probably a fan of the president But he's the president and he's supposed to safeguard the people citizens or not and all he does is talk crap at his daily or weekly conference good thing he's leaving in two years.

    4. At least Calderon unleashed the dogs on the bad guys this guy visits their parents home and had coffee? And he talks the US into releasing a general under arrest after they do him that favor he talks crap about the US.and dents the DEA visas and disband a secret unit working with them what a corrupt wimp.

    8. @10.21. Calderon didn't unleash the dogs on the bad guys, he released them on everybody, mostly the poor- supposedly his own fucking people- while his most trusted men ( plus Garcia Luna and his crooks Edgar Millan, Labastida, Soledana etc) protected the most powerful. A few ''bad guys'' were caught, but it lead to the situation we see today and set back progress by 2 decades at least. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result then you sound insane.

      It was lost in the translation. We all know that he meant siblings. Not all of the translators here speak English as their first language. You will get used to these nuances if you follow this site. The translators are also volunteers who are trying to bring this news to English speakers which is important because U.S. media doesn't report on news in Mexico enough to give Americans an idea of what is going on down there.
      This translation is far superior to googletranslate and should be appreciated.

      Thanks Sol for the good work. I also liked the video of the teachers in Guanajuato.

      Viva Don Alejo, Feliz Navidad and Lock and Load.

    10. Don Alejo was a real G. He went out like a real man that wasn’t gonna give the Zetas an inch. Have you seen that series on Netflix, SOMOS? If not a must watch. People say the DEA caused that. I say they just passed on intel not realizing what would happen. Surely they wouldn’t jeopardize their own case. But you have people ELMO nut tuggers that blame the qhole blame squarely on DEA. Like the actual criminals didn’t perpetuate the massacre and the DEA put them up to it. Just dumb ass people like someone in here saying why we bring Elmo up. Because he’s your commander in chief. Everything falls on his shoulders. It’s called being held accountable, I realize that’s a very new word for most. But it’s actually how responsibility works. It starts with accountability.

      Delete
    11. @3.07- You talk about accountability. Read more about Allende. I liked Somos, cos it treated the whole episode with real seriousness and respect, but it sugared the pill for a US audience- they knew full well what might happen from past experience, and they went ahead anyway. They always do, unless there is political backlash instead of dozens of dead peasants. There is a culture of ''fuck em, the locals should have fought back harder against the invaders, it's not our fault. Besides, blah blah blah''. I heard it so many times. It was a monumental fuck up that got hundreds killed. People who ask them to take accountability for that aren't disputing the fact that the Trevino brothers were the actual perpetrators, or trying to deflect. Now 2 people have been kidnapped, and you are saying AMLO is ''Commander In Chief'' so it's his fault, directly? Its madness dude..

You know nothing about me, except I'm holed up in Europe unable to walk. My legs are already broken, for good. The wound on one ankle will never heal, and you are right, it is very painful. So fuck your advice.

    3. 10:55 That's bullshit! It's going to always be the group with less resources pulling shit like this off. In Juarez, Sinaloa and their loyals are the less fortunte group in Juarez. Just like the leaders of the small towns in the southern sierras. Extorting the poor peasant people of those towns because the snitchaloan bosses don't pay well outside of their state.

    4. Like I said. Empresa own 80 percent of the smuggling in Juarez.
