MEXICO CITY: Eleven young people were brazenly kidnapped from an after-hours bar in Mexico City’s Zona Rosa, a normally calm district of offices, restaurants, drinking spots and dance clubs, according to their relatives.
U.S. News wire service Associated Press issued the list of 11 people:
1. Eulogio Fonseca Arreola, 26, a street vendor who sells cell-phone accessories with his sister and family. “They went out to have fun. They are not criminals,” sister Isabel Fonseca said.
2. Jennifer Robles Gonzalez, 23, a single mother of a 6-year-old boy. Her family said she posted a message on Facebook after 8:30 a.m. Sunday saying she was dancing at the bar less than two hours before the kidnapping allegedly took place.
3. Josue Piedra Moreno, 29, street food vendor who told his mother, Leticia Moreno, he was going out to a club with his brother, Aaron Piedra Moreno.
4. Aaron Piedra Moreno, 20, street food vendor
