The bodies of a husband and nephew of a Mexican federal legislator were found inside the politician's car, which was parked outside a bar near Ciudad Juarez, police said Thursday.
A security guard found Armando Sanchez, 38, and David Garcia, 24, late Wednesday. Sanchez and Garcia were the husband and nephew, respectively, of federal legislator Maria Avila of the Ecologist Green Party, said Luz del Carmen Sosa, a spokeswoman for Ciudad Juarez police.
Avila is a federal legislator for the state of Chihuahua, where Ciudad Juarez is located.
Sosa said the men were shot in the head and their bodies left in Avila's car, which was parked outside a bar in the town of Zaragocita, 18 miles southeast of Ciudad Juarez, a city of 1.3 million across the border from El Paso, Texas.
Police were investigating and had not made any arrests.
Relatives of the men told local reporters the pair had gone shopping but didn't return home.
The AP covered this story.
