Terrifying video footage shows the moment a prosecutor was ambushed and killed in the Mexican border city of Reynosa on Monday.
Ernesto Vázquez was driving his black Cadillac Escalade when a gang of assassins launched their attack on him on Hidalgo Boulevard, brazenly tossing a grenade at the back of the vehicle during afternoon rush hour .
While clearly in agonizing pain, Vázquez was able to get out of the vehicle on his own and crawled across the pavement.
The assailants then pulled up in a white Ford Explorer and opened fire on the defenseless official.
Additional video footage showed prosecutor's body on the ground as stunned motorists rode past the scene of the attack.
Moments later, a bystander was seen dragging Vázquez away from the blown-up vehicle, which was engulfed in flames.
Vázquez was a prosecutor who joined the Federal Attorney General's Office in 2019 and was its senior representative at the Tamaulipas State Attorney General's Office.
The assault took place just four miles from the entrance of the Reynosa-Hidalgo International Bridge that links Reynosa with Hidalgo, Texas and about one mile from the Tamaulipas State Attorney General's Office headquarters.
...
Authorities recovered the Ford Explorer around 10pm just blocks away from the attack.
...
Criminal groups target public and private passenger buses, as well as private automobiles traveling through Tamaulipas, often taking passengers and demanding ransom payments.'
It also warns that 'heavily armed members of criminal groups often patrol areas of the state and operate with impunity particularly along the border region from Reynosa to Nuevo Laredo.'

He must have pissed off the wrong cartel leader
That’s how depraved they are.
Enoch Powell warned us decades ago
Moral of the story, don’t be a politician in Mexico.
Second moral of the story, don’t buy Ford vehicles.
Mexico will have to be overthrown and rebuilt from the ground up, á la Japan post WW2, in order for this to end.
I had family who lived in Donna, near Reynosa. We would go to visit there in the family, and at least once per trip we would go a restaurant in Reynosa. Never again.

Clearly, the Mexicans have been watching too many Hollywood Western.
And in this case the Mexicans got it all wrong cause the good guy was in the black car and the bad guys were in the white car.
I probably can’t openly say what we need to do to Mexico.
But we need to do it. No one else will or can.

If you scan my history of posts on Mexico you can probably get what I would say. There was a hit surfing song, one word title, that essentially covers it. From the top of the country to the bottom.
Sounds like Mehico may be a failed country.🤔
