A trip to Mexico for cosmetic surgery ended with two Americans dead — and two others found alive in a rural area near the Gulf coast — after a violent abduction, officials said Tuesday.
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico — A road trip to Mexico for cosmetic surgery veered violently off course when four Americans were caught in a drug cartel shootout, leaving two dead and two held captive for days in a remote region of the Gulf coast before they were rescued from a wood shack, officials said Tuesday.shortly after they crossed into the border city of Matamoros on Friday as drug cartel factions tore through the streets, the region’s governor said.
A relative of one of the victims said Monday that the four had traveled together from the Carolinas so one of them could get a tummy tuck surgery from a doctor in Matamoros. Robert Williams was not sure if the other survivor, Latavia Burgess, was the one seeking the surgery. The Mexican authorities’ hypothesis is “that it was confusion, not a direct attack,” the state prosecutor said.
