Executions, shootings, and even suicides are now part of a wave of mysterious deaths of Mexican government energy workers. Cartel gunmen appear to be involved in the deaths, Mexican officials confirm.
On September 11, in the coastal state of Guerrero, a third CFE worker was killed. This time it was a direct attack in which the employee, identified as Marco Antonio, was shot to death in the municipality of Coyuca de Benitez. The case remains unsolved.
On the same day, a member of the Mexican Navy, identified as Rodrigo ‘V’, 20 years old, took his life on the Nohoch-A platform, of the state oil company Petróleos Mexicanos . Rodrigo ‘V’ was assigned to the Thirteenth Marine Infantry Battalion and had been tasked with guarding the area against constant maritime robberies. So far, Pemex officials have yet to reveal a motive for the apparent suicide.
“There is a confrontation between groups there,” López Obrador said referring to the outskirts of the town of Onavas where the attack took place. The president said that “in the performance of their duty,” the CFE workers went to reinstall electricity in two towns that had the power cut by cartel gunmen.
However, AMLO also hinted that the shooting could have been a case of mistaken identity where the gunmen mistook the convoy of CFE workers for a convoy of rival cartel gunmen. Prior to that, there were no recorded cases of cartel gunmen targeting energy employees. Investigations in the three cases are ongoing. The Onavas area is the same area where on November 4, 2019, nine U.S. citizens from the Langford, LeBaron, and Miller families were ambushed by hitmen as they drove toward the U.S.
