01:14Americans Kidnapped in Mexico: What We Know So Far
Mexican cartel members have turned over the individuals allegedly responsible for the kidnap and murder of Americans last week and asked for forgiveness for their actions, according to reports.
Four Americans, who had crossed into Mexico so one of them could receive cosmetic surgery were kidnapped by gunmen on March 3 in a suspected case of mistaken identity. A U.S. official told CNN on Monday that the cartel may have suspected the Americans were Haitian drug smugglers.
Mexican officials announced on March 7 that two of the U.S. citizens – Zindell Brown and Shaeed Woodard – had been found dead by Mexican security forces. The pair were found in a wood cabin southeast of the border city of Matamoros.

National Guard and military vehicles take part in an operation to transfer two of the four U.S. citizens kidnapped in Mexico's crime-ridden northeast back to Brownsville, after the other two were found dead, in Matamoros, Tamaulipas State, Mexico, on March 7, 2023. Cartel members have turned over the individuals allegedly responsible for the murder and kidnap of the Americans, according to reports.
The other two kidnapped Americans were identified as Latavia "Tay" McGee and Eric James Williams. They were rescued and returned to the U.S. and a suspect is currently in custody.
