• 2 of the 4 Americans kidnapped in Matamoros have been found dead and 2 alive.
• And one individual has been detained.
• Latavia Washington McGee, a mother of six, and Eric Williams made it out alive.

Two of the four Americans who were abducted by armed gunmen in the border city of Matamoros, Mexico, on Friday were discovered dead, and two more were discovered alive on Tuesday.

According to a US official familiar with the current inquiry, Shaeed Woodard and Zindell Brown were discovered dead.

Before being passed over to the American government, their remains would first be investigated by Mexican authorities, the official said.

According to the official, Latavia Washington McGee, a mother of six, and Eric Williams made it out alive.

They were brought to a hospital in Texas for care and oversight.

Officials from the Mexican authorities reported that Washington McGee was discovered unharmed. Williams’ wife, Michele Williams, told media on Tuesday that her husband had been shot once in each leg.

Tamaulipas Governor Américo Villarreal reported that one individual had been detained in connection with the event, although officials would not clarify whether the person is connected to a criminal group.

The bodies were discovered in a “wooden shack” near Matamoros and had been moved around over the course of many days “to cause confusion and evade rescue efforts,” according to Villarreal.

Days after the four Americans were kidnapped in Matamoros at gunpoint in what is thought to be a case of mistaken identity, their whereabouts have just now come to light.
