Father of Mormon massacre victims says Mexico failed his family

The father of three women and six children killed in a 2019 cartel ambush in northern Mexico says the country's justice system has failed his family, according to the New York Post. The victims, members of a Mormon fundamentalist community near the Sonora-Chihuahua border, were traveling between family properties when gunmen opened fire on their vehicles.

In a new interview, the father criticized Mexican authorities for slow progress in prosecuting the killings and for what he described as indifference to violence affecting dual-national families in remote border regions. He said most suspects remain at large and that cartel control of the area has only strengthened since 2019.
