Fatal Sonora highway shooting death of Enedina and Ubaldina – Obituary
Last week, two Arizona women, Enedina and Ubaldina, were tragically shot and killed on a dangerous stretch of highway in Mexico, according to prosecutors. The women, aged 72 and 82, were found deceased around 10:30 a.m. on Friday inside an overturned white Nissan Pathfinder that was riddled with bullet holes along the Sonoyta-Caborca highway, near a border town in Mexico, as reported by the Sonora attorney general’s office.
Authorities, in their search for those responsible, discovered four AK-47 rifles. The women, who held dual US-Mexican citizenship, were identified only by their first names, Enedina and Ubaldina, a security source informed Reuters. The prosecutors indicated that the women originally hailed from Caborca.
During the ongoing investigation, officials found a navy blue Ford F-150 truck, reported stolen, which contained a cache of magazines, cartridges, four AK-47 rifles, and three ballistic vests, according to the prosecutor’s office. “Security forces from all three levels of government launched an immediate operation to track down and apprehend the criminal group responsible, with assistance from specialized air and ground units,” stated Sonora state prosecutors. However, no arrests have been made yet.
The US State Department confirmed to the Arizona Republic that the victims were US citizens and assured that they are closely monitoring the situation. “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased,” a spokesperson expressed.
The highway where their bodies were found is close to the town of Sonoyta in Sonora, a region plagued by violence. Last year, a California graduate student was fatally shot in his SUV in the same state. The State Department has advised Americans to reconsider travel to Sonora due to high levels of crime and kidnapping.
