Nearly a month after two U.S. citizens were killed in the border cities of Ciudad Juárez and Ojinaga, Mexican authorities say they have solid leads in their cases.

The people in question were 20-year-old Alan Valenzuela and a yet unidentified 17-year-old girl who was kidnapped and believed to be killed by a criminal gang. Valenzuela, a resident of Presidio, Texas, was killed July 6 after he and his friends were caught in the crossfire of a gang-related shooting in Ojinaga.
