Two Americans abducted in Mexico die, two survive.

(BBC) ⸻ Two of the four Americans kidnapped at gunpoint in Mexico last week are dead and two are alive and now back in the US, Mexican and US officials say. One man, named only as José "N", 24, from Tamaulipas, has been arrested and the two surviving victims were delivered to the US on Tuesday in co-operation with the US consulate in Matamoros. The bodies of Zindell Brown and Shaeed Woodard have been recovered and are being repatriated, US officials said. The injured Americans were named by family members as Latavia "Tay" McGee, a mother of six from South Carolina, and Eric James Williams, a 33-year-old bystander from Texas. The FBI confirmed that two Americans were found dead and that the other two have been brought to American hospitals for treatment. The FBI will work with international partners and other law enforcement agencies to hold those responsible for this horrific and violent attack accountable. On Tuesday, Mexican officials confirmed a 24-year-old man had been arrested and that four Americans were discovered at a wooden shack outside Matamoros. Investigators think the Gulf Cartel, one of the oldest organised crime groups in Mexico, is responsible for the attack, which is still unclear whether the Americans were ambushed, mistaken for competing drug traffickers, or were caught in cross-fire between warring factions. US state department officials said on Tuesday that the investigation was still in the early stages. The FBI offered a $50,000 (£42,000) reward for the return of the Americans. Matamoros is one of the most dangerous cities in the country, as drug cartels control large swathes of the state of Tamaulipas and can hold more power than local law enforcement.
