McALLEN - A local resident was found wrapped, tortured and shot execution-style in Reynosa on Friday, according to a Mexican news report released Sunday.
Ramiro Torres Hernández, 24, - a manager of a Burger King in McAllen - was found inside an abandoned vehicle's trunk in a rural field heading toward Rio Bravo in Ejido El Porvenir, El Universal wire service reported.
Tamaulipas state police identified Torres as a Pharr resident.
His visibly tortured body was wrapped in a blanket inside the trunk of a white 2000 Buick sporting Texas license plates, El Universal reported. He had been shot in the head.
Reynosa resident Javier Hernández García, 45, identified Torres as his nephew.
Hernández told authorities Torres arrived drunk in Reynosa on Wednesday at about 3 p.m. About an hour later, Torres went out to buy some more beer and never returned, El Universal reported the uncle as saying.
Mexican authorities were continuing their investigation late Sunday.
¡El ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Yeah, something tells me this was not about beer.
American citizens being kidnapped, tortured, and killed, then their bodies are being dumped in Mexico. How many times will this happen before we get a clue? There is a war going on in Mexico, and it is spilling over into the USA.
It’s always about the beer.
How un-PC of you.
Mas cervesa.
No Country for Old Men...I’m guessin’ that he managed more than burgers
How un-PC of you.
Mas cervesa, por favor.
More correctly, I was being rude not un-PC. I apologize for my churlishness.
And I thought it was the burger turf wars. Those McDonalds and Wendys gangs are a ruthless bunch that will stop at nothing to expand their empire.
Probably money laundering and got caught skimming.
RIP.
I wonder if that’s the Burger King on 10th, across from La Quinta. If so, what’s interesting is that the BK is a half block down from the HEB where that drug kingpin/most wanted guy was arrested last year or so. Then again, it could just be coincidence. Whenever I drive down 10th I have to wonder just who is sitting next to me or behind me at the red light. How many people have they killed, does someone want to kill them and how much dope have they smuggled.
