Six migrants from Egypt, Nepal, and Pakistan were killed after the Mexican Army opened fire on a speeding vehicle carrying 33 migrants.
The military mistook the vehicle for one used by criminal groups in the area. Twelve others were injured in the incident, which is now under investigation by Mexico’s military and federal authorities to determine if the use of force was justified.
This event underscores the dangers migrants face on their journey through Mexico.
