The killing of a delegate from Mexico's Attorney General's Office in Tamaulipas may be linked to a fuel theft network allegedly led by Sergio Carmona, a late businessman who was accused of playing a key role in cross-border fuel smuggling.
Ernesto Cuitláhuac Vázquez Reyna was murdered in Reynosa earlier this week after a group of armed men intercepted his vehicle. According to local media, the attackers threw a fragmentation grenade inside the vehicle before fleeing and firing repeatedly at the federal prosecutor.
