AGENCIES: Nine members of a family from a Mormon community were killed on the Mexican side of the border with the United States, news reports said on Tuesday.
Kendra Lee Miller, whose sister-in-law Rhonita Maria Miller died in the attack, said, “Cartels have taken too many of our family members” and those killed Monday were “not the first.”
According to CNN, Miller’s family has recently been threatened by cartels over where it can travel. Investigators believe three vehicles traveling between the states of Sonora and Chihuahua were ambushed by criminal groups Monday evening, Mexican authorities said.
The victims include three women, four small children and two infants, family member Alex LeBaron said from Mexico. All were dual US-Mexican citizens, he said.
