Authorities blame drug violence in working-class neighborhoods for most of Juarez’s 1,080-plus homicides this year
JUAREZ, Mexico (Border Report) – Multiple homicides and abandoned body parts continue to plague the residents of this border city, where authorities say drug cartels are expanding retail narcotics sales and nine out of 10 murders are drug-related.
Residents of the Mezquital neighborhood in south Juarez on Wednesday alerted police to several bloodied trash bags and a blanket in a vacant lot next to a house. The bags held the remains of two male bodies that had been dismembered, Juarez municipal police officers told a Border Report/KTSM camera crew.
Chihuahua state police forensic investigators removed the remains.
