BAVISPE, MX. (THECOUNT) — María Rohnita Miller, Dawna Ray Langford and Christina Marie Langford, have been identified as the three women killed along with their six children, in a horror ambush by cartel members near Bavispe, Mexico on Monday.

The women and their kids are all dual Mexican and U.S. citizens and were traveling back to the U.S, when family members say they were ambushed by cartels near Bavispe, in Sonora, Mexico.

The children who survived were in the process of being brought to the U.S. border for medical treatment.

A family member, living in Utah said the victims had previous interactions with cartels, but the women and children were clearly not the intended targets here, reports WGXA.

“It’s a whole new level of cartel violence we’ve never even imagined down there,” the grieving family member said.
