Drug traffickers were faster than the law. Or it is an attempt to escape pressure by offering "head".

The Escorpiones, a gang linked to the Gulf cartel, found the suspected killers of two Americans on a street in Matamoros, Mexico. And they apologized through a letter for what happened. It is too early to tell if this is the truth in a story that still has a lot to tell.

Faster than the police! Mexican Gang Captures and Surrenders Killers of Two

But let's start with Friday, when four African-Americans from South Carolina roll into town in a van.

They don't go far, their vehicle is blocked by gunmen who open fire. A video shows the thugs pushing a woman into a pick-up truck and dragging a body.

The kidnapping draws attention, the FBI offers a $50,000 reward, and the families of the missing ask for help.

According to their version, the four were in Matamoros for medical reasons, a fairly common practice for Americans. Treatments cost less, but that's just the beginning of the drama.

Mexican police launch an action, there is a detention of a suspicious person. Investigators speculate that the gunmen mistook the Americans for traffickers (rivals) of illegal Haitian immigrants.

A practice that the gangsters can "close as a case", or impose the release money.

There is talk of the role of a boss, known as Kena or Cyclon 19, part of the Gulf cartel. There's a name to search for, a profile to describe. The news is faster, the mobilization leads to a tipping point.

Tragic. Two of the hostages, Shaeed Woodward and Zindell Brown, have been found dead, one is injured and the fourth is in good condition.

Meanwhile, news is coming out of the US: the murdered, Woodwar and Brown, had drug records. At this point the investigators do not rule out other hypotheses - including that of a conflict - while the family insists on visits for health purposes.

By tradition, the versions overlap, adding to the confusion. However, the second twist arrives. Probably predictable.

The cartel moves in, takes command of the ambush and makes it available to the authorities in spectacular fashion.

All five are tied with their hands behind their backs, next to a sign that explains "Los Escorpiones".

The message is surreal or real, depending on one's perspective. The bandits say they want peace and tranquility in Matamoros, apologize for the consequences, specify that they have punished the elements that acted autonomously, disobeying orders, and promise a tough line in the future.

"We have decided to extradite those who were directly involved and responsible for the incident, who at all times acted under their own judgment and lack of discipline," the letter from drug cartel leaders said, adding that those individuals had violated the rules. of the gang, which include "respect for the life and well-being of the innocent".
