The case began when Mexican authorities responded to a highway interception in the suburb of Escobedo in regards to an abandoned SUV, information provided to Breitbart Texas by Nuevo Leon authorities revealed.

The fighting has led to a spike in violence where kidnappings, shootouts, and gory executions have become commonplace in the disputed areas.
