The recent kidnapping of four American citizens in Mexico has resulted in the death of two victims, according to Tamaulipas Governor Américo Villarreal. The four tourists from South Carolina had traveled to Matamoros for cosmetic surgery and were traveling in a white minivan with North Carolina license plates when they were attacked by armed men in a case of mistaken identity.
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for the safe return of the remaining victims and the capture of the kidnappers. One of the identified victims is Zindell Brown, while his sister Zalandria expressed shock and disbelief at the incident.
The kidnapping occurred after the group had made the trip to Mexico to split up the driving duties, despite being aware of the risks involved. The FBI reports that the victims were traveling in a white minivan with North Carolina license plates when they came under fire upon entering Matamoros. The kidnappers then forced all four Americans into a vehicle and fled the scene.
Video footage posted on social media showed the four individuals being forced into the bed of a pickup truck by armed men in broad daylight. Matamoros has a history of violence, with various factions of the Gulf drug cartel vying for control.
Governor Villarreal has confirmed that two of the four Americans who were abducted have been discovered deceased, while one victim is reportedly wounded and the fourth remains unharmed. The FBI continues to offer a reward for any information leading to the safe return of the victims and the capture of the kidnappers.

Why anybody still travels to Mexico is beyond me
