MATAMOROS, Mexico, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Investigators were trying to determine who fired the stray bullet that killed a young Brownsville, Texas, woman visiting a friend in Mexico.
Authorities in Matamoros, on the south side of the Rio Grande across from Brownsville, said Lizbeth Marin Garcia, 36, was hit in the right shoulder Friday evening and died soon after from internal injuries, The Brownsville Herald reported.
Luis Garcia Delgado, the Mexican prosecutor in Matamoros, said investigators had not yet determined if the bullet was fired by Mexican troops, who were closing off the area.
Guillermina de Gonzalez of Matamoros said Marin was at her house waiting for her daughter. The two young women planned to attend a concert.
Gonzalez said she turned off the lights when the military closed off streets around the house and then heard Marin saying "they got me in the arm."
Silvia Garcia said her daughter was employed in information technology at Penske in San Benito, Texas.
"Everyone loved her, and they showed their love," she said.
