An unidentified woman believed to be a U.S. citizen was killed Saturday night during a firefight between the Mexican military and a group of gunmen near the Plaza Niños Heroes in downtown Reynosa, said a Tamaulipas law enforcement official who asked not to be named for security reasons.
On Sunday, the Mexican military raided a stash house just two blocks away from where the woman had been killed, said a source outside law enforcement with direct knowledge.
It remained unclear whether the woman was a bystander Saturday night or played a role in the clash.
Mexican authorities have not released any official information concerning the firefight or the woman’s death.
U.S. consulate officials in Matamoros said they had not received any reports on the matter.
Sorry, but she knew better than to get anywhere near the border.
Ping!
Never been safer.
