The two Americans who killed in Matamoros, Mexico after being kidnapped at gunpoint during a cartel gang shootout have been identified as Shaeed Woodard and Zindell Brown.
CNN was the first to confirm the news.
The two surviving Americans are Latavia “Tay” McGee and Eric James. They have returned to the United States and are being treated in a Texas hospital.
Williams was shot in the leg while McGee is unharmed.
As previously reported, the four American citizens were assaulted, shot at, and kidnapped after crossing the border into Matamoros, Mexico on Friday.
Unidentified gunmen fired upon the passengers in the vehicle. All four Americans were placed in a vehicle and taken from the scene by armed men, according to the FBI.
A relative of one of the Americans said Monday that they had traveled together from South Carolina so one of them could get a tummy tuck from doctor in Matamoros. McGee was later identified as the individual in question.
US law enforcement played no role in searching for the missing Americans on the ground in Mexico according to Américo Villarreal, the governor of Tamaulipas.
Villareal said the two dead Americans will be turned over to American authorities following forensic work at the Matamoros morgue in the coming hours.
CNN reported:
The two Americans who authorities say were kidnapped in Mexico and found dead have been identified as Shaeed Woodard and Zindell Brown, a US official familiar with the ongoing investigation tells CNN.
The two survivors have been identified as Latavia Washington McGee and Eric Williams, according to the source. The pair was taken to a Texas hospital for treatment and observation.
The Americans’ families have been notified, the official indicated.
The Mexican government said at a press conference that Washington McGee was found uninjured and Williams suffered a bullet wound to the leg.
United States law enforcement was not involved on the ground in Mexico during the search for missing Americans, the governor of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, Américo Villarreal, said. Tamaulipas is where the kidnapping took place.
Mexican officials displayed a timeline of the search for the Americans, including photos of the cars believed to be used by the kidnappers, before they were found Tuesday morning.
Mexico’s Secretary of Security Rosa Icela Rodríguez said authorities in Mexico have been in constant communication with the US ambassador and other US officials since Sunday.

TGP’s Jim Hoft on The War Room with Steve Bannon on the Breaking ERIC News – Florida, Missouri and West Virginia Are OUT! (VIDEO)
The Gateway Pundit has reported for over a year now on the ERIC voter roll system that is used in 32 27 states. The system was originally promoted as a tool to clean up voter rolls. It is anything but that.
For example, Wisconsin is an ERIC State and has over 7 million registered voters in a state with less than 4 million eligible voters. The Wisconsin state election leader Sarah Whitt was hired by ERIC after performing such exemplary work in Wisconsin.
Obviously, ERIC is not working. The ERIC system is obsolete, inefficient, and has failed in its purpose. The Democrat party apparatus loves it for some reason.
The ERIC system is now used in dozens of states despite the fact that voter rolls in those states are more bloated with phantom voters than ever before in US history.
Last year The Gateway Pundit reported on the ERIC Systems in a series of articles and follow-up reports for over a year now.
These articles have gone viral and are being passed on to state officials.
** ERIC Part 1: Who’s “Cleaning” Our Voter Rolls? ERIC Now in 31 States
** ERIC Part 2: Largest U.S. Counties Removed ZERO to TWO Ineligible Voters
** ERIC Part 3: The Founding of the Nation’s Largest Voter Roll Clean-up Operation
** ERIC Part 4: A Response to the Panicked Media Attacks
And our message is resonating. Since our original reporting, thousands of grassroots activists have called their Secretary of State’s office and demanded they look into the ERIC system.
As we reported earlier, since The Gateway Pundit first reported on ERIC two states have stepped away from the platform and more will follow.
On Monday we were notified by Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft that Missouri was cutting ties with ERIC.
And Jay Aschcroft told us that FLORIDA and WEST VIRGINIA were also cutting ties with ERIC!
This was a major development and a major advance for election integrity.
On Tuesday morning The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to share this breaking news with the War Room Army.

In Major Blow to Joe Biden, Radical FCC Pick Gigi Sohn Withdraws Nomination
In a major blow to Joe Biden, his radical FCC nominee Gigi Sohn was forced to withdraw her nomination due to lack of support from Democrat senators.
After a 16-month long battle and three hearings, Gigi Sohn was forced to bow out because of her far-left, anti-police views.
Sohn would have given Democrats a 3-2 majority on the FCC panel.
Recall, Senator Ted Cruz outed Gigi Sohn for being a pro-censorship Soros stooge.

NEVER FORGET: Mitch McConnell Condemned the J6 Protests as a “Violent Insurrection” – Video Now Reveals He Was Lying
On Monday night Tucker Carlson released video from security cameras inside and outside the US Capitol.
Three things were made clear:
1.) The police fired exploding gas canisters, rubber bullets, and pepper spray at the protesters without warning
2.) Federal operatives were embedded and committed criminal acts
3.) The mainstream media, Democrats, and Uniparty members lied about the protests and protesters
On Monday night Tucker Carlson released videotape of Jacob Chansley “QAnon Shaman” being escorted through the Capitol on Jan 6. Peacefully!
Jacob Chansley never committed any violence. Jacob Chansley told others to act peacefully. Jacob Chansley said a prayer in the US Capitol. And Jacob Chansley was escorted through the US Capitol by police.
Today Jacob Chansley is serving 41 months in prison for his “crimes.”
Jacob was not alone – HUNDREDS of Trump supporters were waved into the US Capitol by police and then later arrested by the armed FBI teams with assault weapons.

Mitch McConnell lashed out at Speaker McCarthy for giving Tucker Carlson access to the footage.
McConnell also said it was a “mistake” for Tucker Carlson to show the footage.
“It was a mistake in my view for Fox News to depict this in a way that’s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks,” McConnell said.

ESPN Analyst Destroys Colleague for Race Baiting
Former NBA star and now sports analyst J.J. Redick recently called out his ESPN colleague for race-baiting.
During a recent airing of the ESPN sports talk show First Take, Redick slammed former NBA champion and now ESPN analyst, Kendrick Perkins for claiming NBA MVP voters have a racial bias when it comes to black basketball players.
Perkins previously claimed on First Take that if Denver Nuggets’ Center Nikola Jokic wins the MVP again it’s because he’s white.
In response to Perkin’s previous comments Redick stated, “What we’ve just witnessed is the problem with this show where we create narratives that do not exist in reality. The implication, what you are implying, that the white voters are that vote on NBA are racist. ”
As Redick was talking Perkin’s would close his eyes and look up and start speaking over Redick.

— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) March 7, 2023Here was Perkin’s original comments:
Kendrick Perkins suggests that Nikola Jokic is winning the MVP this year because he is a white European.
On National Television. This talking point started two weeks ago and is gotten worse and worse ever since.pic.twitter.com/ODNZX9UtQa
— Swipa (@SwipaCam) March 1, 2023Per Outkick:
JJ Redick finds Kendrick Perkins’ views on NBA voters being racist absolutely disgusting.
Perkins has of late, attempted to claim NBA MVP voters must be racist because only three players outside the top 10 of season scoring leaders have ever won the MVP since the 1990s: Steve Nash, Nikola Jokic, and Dirk Nowitzki.
Apparently, that’s a sign MVP voters must be racist, and if Nikola Jokic wins again, it’s because he’s a white dude and nothing more.
Nikola Jokic has won the MVP award the last two years and this year he is in the running to win it a third team.
As of right now Jokic is averaging a triple double and has the Denver Nuggets in first place in the Western Conference.Nikola Jokic is averaging a triple double on historically great efficiency on the #1 team in the West.
If he wins MVP, it’s because he DESERVES it. pic.twitter.com/Ifkqr7XlFO

The Daily Mail reports:Violence erupted on the streets of Paris today as thousands took to the streets across France to protest against pension reforms.
Riot police fought running battles with demonstrators in the capital city on a so-called Black Tuesday of industrial action across the country.
The worst trouble was close to the Port Royal metro station, where hundreds of riot police used tear gas and baton charges. As projectiles rained down on them, bins were set on fire and bus stops destroyed by so-called Black Bloc anarchists.
Big crowds also took to the streets in Marseille, Nice and other cities, and trouble was also reported in other major cities including Lyon, Nantes, and Rennes.
A Parisian police spokesperson said ‘radical agitators’ had joined the crowds and accused them of ‘attacking police whenever they can’. ‘A protest march is being heavily policed, and everything is being done to restore law and order,’ he added.The post Violence Erupts as Thousands Storm Streets In France Over Macron’s Pension Reforms appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Democrat Lawmakers in Maryland Introduce Bill Preventing Anyone 25 Under from Being Charged with Felony Murder
Democratic lawmakers in Maryland are attempting to pass a bill to prevent criminals under 25 from being convicted of felony murder.
In the state of Maryland, “Felony murder occurs when someone is killed while a felony crime, like robbery, is being committed.’
House Bill 1180 , also called the Youth Accountability and Safety Act, would ultimately prevent anyone under 25 from being charged with felony murder.
LOOK:The new bill was introduced by Democratic Delegate Charlotte Cruchfield.
Cruchfield’s reasoning behind the new bill is that a person’s frontal lobes are not fully developed until the age of 25.
Republicans, however, are not on board with the idea of murderers getting off the hook.
Per Fox 45 Baltimore:
However, opponents of HB 1180, like Republican Delegate Susan McComas say Democrats are only using mental capacity when it comes to soft on crime policies.
“Proponents of the bill say that the human brain is not fully formed in the frontal lobes until age 25. But yet, we’re doing other things in the general assembly, letting children vote earlier and earlier, letting them get hormone inducing drugs to change their sex,” said McComas.For example, a getaway driver hits and kills a pedestrian while fleeing the scene of a crime, they are guilty of felony murder, under current law.https://t.co/7JeJ0MWk8N
— FOX Baltimore (@FOXBaltimore) March 7, 2023The State of Maryland’s Juvenile Justice Service head Vincent Schiraldi previously went on record saying no one under 21 should be introduced to the Justice System.
