Identifying the Victims
Chihuahua Attorney General Cesar Jauregui confirmed that two of the victims have been identified as residents of Sinaloa. The burned vehicle used in the crime was traced back to them, indicating that they may have been abducted days before their tragic end.
Control of Migrant Smuggling
