From CBS News: The bodies of five musicians, members of a Mexican regional music group who had gone missing, were found in the northern city of Reynosa along the Texas border, authorities said on Thursday.
The musicians from the band Grupo Fugitivo, which played at parties and local dances in the region, had been reported missing since Sunday.
Tamaulipas state prosecutors, who had been investigating their disappearance, said the men were kidnapped around 10 p.m. that night while traveling in a SUV on the way to a venue where they were hired to play. Their bodies were found on the fringes of Reynosa. Prosecutors said nine suspects believed to be part of a faction of the Gulf Cartel, which has strong presence in the city, have been arrested.
Authorities were not immediately able to say why the men were slain, and did not deny reports by local media that the bodies had been burned.
Reynosa is a Mexican town right on the U.S.-Mexico border, just south of McAllen, Texas. The city “has been plagued by escalating violence since 2017 due to internal disputes among groups vying for control of drug trafficking, human smuggling and fuel theft,” CBS News reported.
Nine suspects believed to be Gulf Cartel members have reportedly been arrested for the sickening murders.
According to one post on social media, “The Fugitive Group disappeared after a show in Reynosa, Tamaulipas. Their last known appearance was a video on Sunday, May 25, at 7:55 PM, of them singing “Cruzando el Puente” from the Reynosa bridge.”

The following post reads: “Not arriving on time saved his life. Carlos, the lead singer of Grupo Fugitivo, was unable to arrive with his bandmates in time to attend their performance on Sunday night, which saved his life. His delay left him out of the trip in which five members of the group mysteriously disappeared, being four musicians and a photographer. Carlos is fortunately safe and sound with his family.”
