The State reports that six innocent bystanders were killed in a crossfire. Although policemen would have participated, Procuraduría blamed only the criminals involved. This is not the first to be killed in the same manner, this is the fourth incident in a few weeks. Last time witnesses said it was the Marina that killed the innocents.

REYNOSA .- The innocent population is paying for the resurgence of violence on this border.

In the fourth similar incident since Easter, six innocents died and another was seriously wounded on Wednesday, in a crossfire between gunmen in the Colonia Petrolera de Reynosa, the Tamaulipas Attorney’s Office reported last night.

Although the shooting was recorded on Wednesday afternoon, the authorities did not report the deaths of civilians until last night after relatives went to identify their loved ones at the Forensic Medical Service yesterday.

During the violent day of Wednesday, state police confronted gunmen in the area, but the Attorney General’s office stated that the innocents were victims of “an armed confrontation between criminal groups.”

Security sources said that state agents would have participated in the crossfire.

The state agency said that four men and two innocent women died.

Three of the victims worked at the same company and three more were members of a family who were in the street at the time of the shooting.

“One of the first tests carried out on the victims, in addition to the autopsy, was sodium radizonate, which was negative [for gunshot residue], so it was determined that no guns were fired and they were not part of the confrontation,” the Attorney General said.

According to testimonies gathered yesterday, the members of the deceased family are Teresa Sánchez Presa, 62 years old; his daughter Maribel Roque Sánchez, 36, and his grandson, Sergio Guadalupe Roque Martínez, 19, and a student at the UAT.

In the UAT Aztlán caused great commotion the death of Sergio, since he was an excellent student and worked as a member of a popular mariachi band.

Two of the men who worked in the company were identified as José Alfredo Vargas Dueñas and Israel Rodolfo Alcaraz González, while until last night the name of the third victim had not been disclosed.

The man who is serious would be Ángel Peña Calderón, who was shot in the eye.

In addition to these six deaths, at least five other innocents have died in Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo since March 25, in the midst of three shootings of gunmen and official forces.
