STARR COUNTY - Sheriff's Office investigating who tortured and left a man for dead.
The Starr County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of 27-year-old Carlos Alberto Garcia.
They tell CHANNEL 5 NEWS Garcia's body was found laying in the middle of Docking Street, north of Escobares, Sunday morning.
Starr County Sheriff's Office investigators believe the crime scene spans across multiple locations. Investigator Erasmo Rios found a vehicle believed to be connected to the crime at a separate location. Investigators said his body showed signs of torture. Rios said, "When someone is bound by their legs and more than one stabbing over the body, it shows that it took a course of time for all those wounds to be inflicted."
Garcia's feet were bound with a stereo cord and his throat was slit, authorities said. They believe his body was dumped on the road.
Investigator Rios says they believe Garcia was targeted, "Due to the type of crime and what happened, we do believe that he knew the people that attacked him."
Rios says Garcia is a Mexican national, he tells CHANNEL 5 NEWS Garcia was deported at least once before.
Drug trade related?
I blame this on the Open Borders crowd
Maybe this wouldnt have happened if we had passed immigration reform :)
According to this article he was stabbed several times and they found a burning car believed to be his.

Carlos Alberto Garcia
Looks like a great place to dump a body.
Left FOR dead implies that he isn't dead.
No country for old men.
“They believe his body was dumped on the road.”
Duh.
I know this is off topic, but what the heck kind of professional writing is this?
Yeah, I know....
Cheers,

Oh..and leave on the head of his brother Alberto,
Mexican milk/butter smuggler.

This is why...”At Least the Violence Is Contained to Mexico.”
Violence, in other words, is not a function of the drug trade specifically. It is how the cartels manage everything from marketing to public relations to human resources.
“At Least the Violence Is Contained to Mexico.”
Not at all. This past February, the Chicago Crime Commission named Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera, the leader of the powerful Sinaloa cartel, “Public Enemy No. 1” — the first person to receive the designation since Al Capone. The number of homicides in Chicago through early September 2013 was 27 percent higher than in New York, and its murder rate was 49 percent higher than Los Angeles’s. Jack Riley, head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Chicago office, has ascribed the city’s unusually high murder rate to drug-related turf wars sparked by Sinaloa’s growing presence in the city. The centrality of Chicago to air, rail, and road transportation networks, as well as the city’s large Mexican immigrant community, make it an important node for drug distribution.
Despite what’s happening in Chicago and other U.S. cities, there has been almost no appetite at the federal level for tracking the effects of the DTOs on domestic crime. Proponents of immigration reform have no wish to promote stereotypes of immigrants as dangerous criminals. Advocates for higher and longer border fencing acknowledge the danger but prioritize major cities and more populated areas, failing to realize that this tactic simply shifts cartel operations to remoter areas that are harder to control. Governors of states that border Mexico have little interest in drawing attention to crime that results from their inability to contain the DTOs. And Washington does not want to antagonize the Mexican government over its law enforcement shortcomings, particularly given that Mexico’s cooperation is critical to addressing a host of other issues, such as immigration.
While Washington looks the other way, cartel activity in the United States is only getting worse. To keep their operations going, the DTOs have been engaging in money laundering and bribery on both sides of the border. In September 2013, for example, a federal jury in Austin, Texas, sentenced three men involved in laundering Los Zetas money in the United States — including a brother of the cartel’s notorious leader — to lengthy prison sentences.
The DTOs’ reach is extending ever farther into the United States. Like many successful legal businesses, the cartels are vertically integrating. Instead of merely selling meth, for example, DTOs like Sinaloa now manufacture the drug using chemical precursors they import from Asia. This, alongside new laws that have made it harder to acquire precursors in the United States, has driven “mom and pop” meth producers in the United States out of business, as they cannot compete on price or quality with the product from Mexico. The integration goes down the supply chain as well. Part of the reason that Chicago law enforcement officials are so alarmed by El Chapo is that Sinaloa no longer outsources its retailing to local dealers but is taking an ever more active role in selling the product in the United States. And that means that cartel-related crime is only going to get worse.

Starr County deputies arrest 3

Starr County sheriff’s investigators arrested three men in Saturday’s “early morning hours” in connection with the stabbing death of a 27-year-old man discovered near Roma last weekend, Sheriff Rene Fuentes said.
The men, Frank Garza, Luis Enrique Sanchez and Andy Muñoz — all in their mid-to-late 20s — are suspected of killing Carlos Alberto Garcia, a man without legal U.S. immigration status living in Roma.
Investigators believe Garcia was killed at one location, then driven and dumped somewhere else. Investigators may have discovered the scene of the murder, Sheriff’s Office Captain Larry Fuentes, at a residence on Bethel Street in Roma.
Starr County investigators, working with the District Attorney’s office, arrested Muñoz at his residence, also on Bethel Street. They arrested Sanchez at his home in the Garceno area. Garza had been arrested earlier in the week for traffic violations at his place of business in Escobares. He was served with the capital murder warrant while still
in custody.
The incident remains under investigation as authorities work to determine a motive for the killing. “That’s what we’re still trying to determine, to get a clear motive,” Larry Fuentes said.
The men are expected to be arraigned soon, he added.
