EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A mass shooting has claimed the lives of four men in a Juarez, Mexico, neighborhood, the second quadruple murder in four days in a city that recorded 124 homicides this past January – the most in a month since August 2022.
This one involved four men killed late Monday in a GMC Sierra parked in the Paseos del Alba east of Juarez International Airport. A police report shows residents called authorities after hearing gunshots fired from at least two firearms at 9:11 p.m.
Police found the bodies of four males – some in the vehicle and some lying next to the white GMC – near the intersection of Avestruces and Palomas streets. All the victims had gunshot wounds, according to the report.
Police and Mexican National Guard troops scoured the neighborhood but did not report any arrests.
On Thursday, a family member called police after finding two relatives and two strangers dead inside a home in the Horizontes del Sur neighborhood of Juarez. The victims showed signs of torture and were bound, and strangled with electrical cords.
Juarez Municipal Police Chief Cesar Omar Munoz told reporters last month most homicides are drug-related and the latest spike in violence has to do with the proliferation of crystal meth sales in the city.
