From Breitbart: A Union Pacific railroad employee reported the discovery of a brush fire near a storage facility along an interstate highway in Houston. Firefighters responded and found the partially burned body of a man hanging by a rope from the overpass, police officials stated.
The grim discovery of a man found hanging and partially burned beneath a Houston freeway Thursday night has drawn chilling parallels to cartel-style executions long documented by Breitbart’s Cartel Chronicles Project in northern Mexico, where bodies are often displayed in public as a message. While Houston police have not confirmed any connection to organized crime, investigators say the circumstances strongly suggest homicide, and the method of display has raised concerns among law enforcement familiar with transnational gang tactics.
Houston Police Department spokesman Lt. A. Khan told reporters that Fire Department crews found the body after extinguishing the small brush fire discovered by railroad employees, KHOU CBS11 in Houston reported.
Kahn said investigators do not yet know how the man ended up in this situation. He added that police believe it is “highly unlikely” that he took his own life. The death is being investigated as a homicide, police stated.
Police have explained that there is a homeless encampment nearby, but they’re not convinced that the gruesome incident has anything to do with that encampment.
Breitbart points out that the manner of the death is highly reminiscent of Mexican cartel executions.
