NUEVO LEON - An 8-year-old boy has gone missing after a shootout in Nuevo Leon. Investigators are searching for Brandon Cantu Emith Morales. Authorities say the boy was traveling with neighbors from South Padre Island. They came across a cartel checkpoint in Mexico. After not stopping, gunmen opened fire. One woman was shot in the head. The boy was also injured.
Investigators say the driver bailed out of the vehicle and hid in a nearby house. When he returned, the boy and the woman were gone. The U.S. Consulate General's Office in Monterrery issued a statement to CHANNEL 5 NEWS:
"Consulate officials are in close contact with the family. In this and all cases of a crime against an American citizen in Mexico, we urge Mexican authorities to conduct a thorough investigation. Our thoughts are with Brandon's family and we hope Mexican authorities will succeed in locating Brandon."
" /> So the guy left the 8 yr old in the car by himself? Wow
No, they're already here. A kid just last week was giving me a good education about these gangs.
Prayers for little Brandon’s safe return.
Goof grief! Open warfare on our border with Mexico and the politicians talk immigration reform. We don’t need reform. We need to protect our fracking border! NOW!
Yeah, if you’re gonna run a checkpoint, you’re in for a pound, so KEEP MOVING and be willing to commit. Chickening out in the middle of it is always a bad decision.
Colonel, USAFR
