The cartel-related killings continue in Ciudad Juárez with 24 homicides registered over the recent weekend, bringing the April total to 79.

Some of the most recent homicides occurred early Sunday morning when three bodies were discovered on a dirt road near the Tepeyac Cemetery in colonia San Antonio, according to local reports. The victims were two males and one female with approximate ages between 18 to 25. Each had their hands and feet bound and suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Numerous .9mm shell casings were found near their bodies by responding crime scene investigators from the state attorney general’s office.

A short time later, municipal police responded to a call for assistance in colonia Independencia II at Profesora Díaz de Bustamante and Irigoyen Streets, where armed men reportedly forced entry into a residence and killed an unidentified male with multiple gunshots. Later in the day, a male identified as Jesús Chamorro Rosales, 30, was murdered in front of his house in colonia Carlos Castillo Peraza on José Contreras Aguilera and María Teresa Rojas Streets in the southeast section of the city. Four armed men arrived at the house and chased the victim into his front yard where he was killed in a hail of gunfire, according to witnesses who spoke to police.
