20 people were killed this past weekend due to drug-gang violence in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The victims were attending a party when they were shot. Five were found dead in a car. The city is known for having a notorious crime rate reputation. 6,500 have been killed since 2008. Some have even been attacked in their own homes. Last month, two men broke into two houses and attacked a 15-year-old boy's party guests. The Zetas drug gang is the group suspected to have committed the crimes. Police found a human head in a gift-wrapped box on the side of a popular cliff known for its beautiful view. A note signed "the last letter Z" was left with the head. Authorities received an e-mail supposedly from the gang claiming that the head's owner was killed for falsely identifying himself with the gang. Officials fear that the leader of the Zetas' enemy gang will be killed within the next week.
