Two of the four Americans kidnapped by armed gunmen after crossing the Mexican border on Friday were found dead, according to a Mexican governor.
Tamaulipas Governor Américo Villarreal said the other two Americans were found alive in Tamaulipas, according to Latinus journalist Claudio Ochoa Huerta.
Relatives told CNN and ABC News that the Americans — identified by family as a group of friends, Zindell Brown, Latavia McGee, Eric James Williams, and Shaeed Woodard — were traveling for one of them to get a tummy tuck procedure.
The group traveled into Mexico in a white van with North Carolina license plates before they were fired at and taken by armed gunman.
CNN reported that investigators believe they were mistaken for smugglers by a drug cartel.
