A University of Texas El Paso student has been shot to death in Ciudad Juarez, becoming the fifth U.S. citizen killed in that border city this week.

The U.S. consulate has confirmed Eder Diaz, who was killed along with a classmate, is the latest victim. U.S authorities said the 23-year-old student was traveling Tuesday with his fellow classmates when gunmen opened fire on their car. Diaz died from his injuries Wednesday and his classmate was killed on the scene.

Killings of U.S. citizens are on the rise in Mexico, which has seen more than 28,000 deaths so far in its bloody four-year-old war on organized crime. According to recent figures, the U.S. State Department reports Americans were victims in 47 homicides in Mexico in the first six months of 2010 and 13 in Ciudad Juarez as of the end of June.

Trouble is, at night cars look alike and they may have been targeting someone driving a similar car — shoot first and check later is their usual MO.
