A mural adorns a facade, Tuesday, March 7, 2023, in Lake City, S.C. The four Americans violently kidnapped last week in Mexico had ties to the small town in South Carolina. LAKE CITY, S.C. — — Americans who officials said got caught in a deadly drug cartel shootout in Mexico last week all had ties to a small town in South Carolina, where leaders have called for community support of the families and two captives returned to U.S. soil Tuesday.
“We ask each of you, your friends, your family, your churches, and your communities across the nation to keep us all lifted in your thoughts & prayers as we the City of Lake City and the families grieve the loss and get through this tragic incident together,” Robinson said Wednesday in a statement to the town.The two survivors are in a Texas hospital. Officials reported Zindell Brown among the two dead.
The four Americans were hauled off in a pickup truck, and Mexican authorities frantically searched as the cartel moved them around — even taking them to a medical clinic — “to create confusion and avoid efforts to rescue them,” Tamaulipas Gov. Américo Villarreal said.
