Days after two people died and two people were injured during a cosmetic surgery road trip to Matamoros, Mexico, North Texans say the threat of violence won’t stop them from crossing the border for medical care.
"I think that's a priority for them especially when you're traveling from outside the country and you're going with a clinic," said Gutierrez.
As authorities work to find all of the gunmen and kidnappers, family members of the surviving victims, Latavia McGee and Eric Williams, are speaking about the traumatic ordeal. Tarleton University criminologist Alex del Carmen says the violent kidnapping last week should serve as a reminder of the potential dangers Americans face.
"Make sure your cell works when you cross the border to make sure your loved ones know exactly where you are going," del Carmen said."Once you are abducted, once you're inside that vehicle, the chances of survivability diminish tremendously."
