The FBI has reported that four American citizens who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border from Texas were shot at, threatened with firearms, and may have been abducted in Matamoros.
Special Agent Oliver Rich, who leads the FBI’s San Antonio Division, announced on Sunday that the agency is requesting the public’s help in finding the individuals who were last spotted in the northern Mexican city of Matamoros, Tamaulipas. The four have been unaccounted for since Friday, March 3rd.
That day, “four Americans crossed into Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico driving a white minivan with North Carolina license plates. Shortly after crossing into Mexico, unidentified gunmen fired upon the passengers in the vehicle. All four Americans were placed in a vehicle and taken from the scene by armed men,” the FBI said in a statement.
Matamoros is a city in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, situated along the southern bank of the Rio Grande, which forms the border between Mexico and the United States. It is located directly across from the city of Brownsville, Texas.
