For the fourth consecutive day, shootings and deaths in Reynosa.
Although so far there are no official reports, one of the strongest clashes occurred in the Lomas Section, where neighbors say four armed men were left dead on the street, six others in a taxi and two more in the interior of a dwelling.
By air and land, the clashes spread to the Monterey-Matamoros outpost where vehicles were
abandoned and numerous units were consumed by fire in a junk yard.
In the Villa Esmeralda fractionation, personnel from the Forensic Medical Service withdrew two other bodies of people killed during the shootout in the southeast of the city, although neighbors said that inside the building there were more dead men.
At that place were seized weapons and vehicles used by men killed during this early morning. From there, they moved to Fuentes Lomas Section to collect the bodies of the rest of the men.
Elements of the Mexican Army, Secretary of Marine, State and Expert Services, are concentrated in both sectors where there were dead to investigate and gather evidence of the facts.
The shootings began around 2 am, when detonations began to be heard in various parts of the city. As is usual in Reynosa social network users were the primary source of news. The action of high-powered weapons, coupled with the sound of the helicopter of the Secretary of the Navy, awoke the population that alerted the clashes through social networks.
The reynosense population lived that day of terror as more than a dozen dead killed during the early hours of Sunday as the shootings and persecutions were unleashed in the south of the city
.
Social Media is reporting that the violence and death is continuing into today (Monday). "A man executed, tied hands, was found a few moments ago on the bank of the channel Anzalduas, in the ejido Palo Blanco. So far has not been identified the body that also had bandaged the face with cinnamon tape.
