The bodies of four men wrapped in black bags were found on the Zihuatanejo-La Unión highway, in the Costa Grande region of Guerrero.
Three belong to José Mario Ramírez Talavera, 24; José Óscar Ortiz Villaseñor, 28; and Ricardo Ramírez Ruiz, 39. They were furniture sellers from the State of Mexico who disappeared on October 20 in the municipality of Tecpan de Galeana, according to family members who filed a complaint with state authorities.
On Sunday, March 23, the father of one of the victims and two of his friends were found murdered after they were found. Their bodies were found inside a car with State of Mexico license plates in the same area where the sellers were found today. A total of seven men were murdered.
Security sources reported that at 4:00 a.m. this Wednesday, the bodies of four naked and decomposing men were reported to have been found.
They were left wrapped in black bags on the side of the Zihuatanejo–La Unión highway, near the junction to the Lagunillas community.
Discovery
When their relatives reported their disappearance on Facebook, they claimed the three men were selling furniture and mattresses.
They were traveling in a white cargo van with license plate LE-71-164 from the State of Mexico and labeled “Logistic Delivering Emotions.”
Following their disappearance, the Guerrero Prosecutor’s Office activated its wanted list.
Over the weekend, Mauricio N, Ricardo Ramírez’s father (now found dead), arrived from the State of Mexico to the Costa Grande region, accompanied by his son’s friends, Ventura N and Carlos N, to search for the merchants. They were killed, and their bodies were left on a dirt road in Lagunillas, in the municipality of La Unión. On Sunday morning, municipal police and National Guard officers found the bodies, which showed gunshot wounds, in the back seat and trunk of a white Volkswagen Jetta with State of Mexico license plates NFS-656-B.
According to a map of criminal groups operating in the region prepared by the Guerrero government in 2023, the Los Granados criminal organization operates in the municipality of Tecpan de Galeana, where the merchants were allegedly kidnapped.
And in the municipality of La Unión, where the seven people were found dead, there is a strong presence of the Los Viagras criminal cell.
The Arreola, Maldonado, Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and La Familia Michoacana criminal groups also operate on the Costa Grande.
