A burned out SUV is seen parked by the side of a remote road in northern Mexico’s Sonora state, believed to be connected to an attack by gunmen on a convoy of SUVs carrying members of an American family on November 4, 2019. REUTERS Relatives say at least nine U.S. citizens, including six children, who live in a Mormon community in northern Mexico were killed in a shooting attack. The families said they suspect it may have been a case of mistaken identity by drug cartel gunmen. Family members told “CBS This Morning” that the FBI has opened an investigation into the killings. It happened Monday near the town of Bavispe, about 100 miles south of the Arizona border. As many as 13 other members of La Mora — a decades-old settlement in Sonora state founded as part of an offshoot of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — were initially reported missing after the attack on a convoy of SUVs carrying community members, said a relative who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals. The relative said he had located the burned-out, bullet-ridden SUV containing the remains of his nephew’s wife and her four children, twin seven-month old babies and two other children aged 8 and 10. Authorities in Sonora state and the U.S. Embassy did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Mexico’s federal Department of Security and Citizens’ Protection said security forces were reinforced with National Guard, army and state police troops in the area following “the reports about disappearance and aggression against several people.” The troops were searching for the missing community members. Jhon LeBaron, one of the relatives, posted on his Facebook page that his aunt and another woman were dead. He said six of his aunt’s children had been left abandoned but alive on a roadside. He wrote late Monday that a total of 17 of his family members were in the three-vehicle convoy when it came under attack. He said nine were killed, six wounded, and two left unharmed.

Jhon identified her as Maria Ronita Lebaron. She was apparently killed along with her twin seven-month old babies and two of her other seven children. The first relative said the convoy set out Monday from La Mora, about 70 miles south of Douglas, Arizona, but was attacked by cartel gunmen in a possible case of mistaken identity. Many of the church’s members were born in Mexico and thus have dual citizenship. Video emerged showing the still-smoldering remains of one SUV ditched along a road in a remote area. The inside of the vehicle was completely burned out. Trish Cloes is victim Dawna Ray Langford’s aunt. She said the family was devastated and emotional and all they could do was “start thinking positive and praying” when they heard about the tragedy. “It’s something that you can’t explain, that there are evil people in this world that could do such a thing like that,” she said. Cloes said she wanted people to remember her relatives as “amazing, family-oriented people. They are loving, they are giving… they’re always looking out for others.” It would not be the first time that members of the break-away church had been attacked in northern Mexico, where their forebears settled — often in Chihuahua state — decades ago. In 2009, Benjamin LeBaron, an anti-crime activist who was related to those killed in Monday’s attack, was murdered in 2009 in neighboring Chihuahua state.
