Bound body found near Chihuahua highway

Notigram Nota Roja reports that authorities found the body of an unidentified man in an arroyo near kilometer 6.5 of the free highway between Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua, in an area known as Curvas del Perico. The report says the discovery was first reported early Saturday, September 13, but authorities located the remains after 1:30 p.m. The man’s identity had not been officially established because of the condition of the body. Notigram Nota Roja says authorities described the victim as wearing blue denim pants and black underwear, details being used in an effort to identify him.

According to the report, the body was found with its hands bound and a narcomessage was located nearby. The wording and contents of that message have not been made public, and the report does not establish who wrote it or whether it indicates a criminal group’s involvement. Municipal police officers were the first responders, secured the area and preserved possible evidence, while Fiscalía personnel later took over the investigative work and scene processing.

The body was transported for forensic studies intended to establish the victim’s identity and determine the cause and circumstances of death. Notigram Nota Roja reports that authorities are investigating who may have been involved in leaving the body at the roadside location. As of the source report, officials had not publicly identified the man or released further details about the message. The incident remains under investigation, and the account is presented as a local report rather than an independently verified finding.
