Soldiers in a northern Mexican border city allegedly killed five young men who were unarmed and driving to their homes in a pick-up truck, a local human rights group said on Monday, calling on the government to investigate the shootings.
The victims were shot on Sunday while driving in the city of Nuevo Laredo near the U.S.-Mexico border, the Nuevo Laredo Human Rights Committee said in a statement, before announcing on Monday it had filed the complaint with federal prosecutors on behalf of the victims and their relatives.
A sixth person in the truck survived and was hospitalized with gunshot wounds.
