The shooting comes as drug cartels continue to fight for control of lucrative drug and human smuggling corridors into Texas.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting took place this week when 52-year-old Carmen Lorena Mart\u00ednez traveled in an SUV driven by her boyfriend, 55-year-old Martin Gomez. The couple was driving from Cerralvo Nuevo, Leon to Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Information provided to Breitbart Texas by law enforcement sources revealed that the couple was traveling in a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse when a group of gunmen began following them near Ciudad Mier, Tamaulipas. The couple increased their speed in an attempt to escape the gunmen but did not see a series of road spikes that a separate group of gunmen had deployed at the entrance to the city.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ciudad-Mier-Shooting.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18524938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ciudad-Mier-Shooting.jpg\" alt width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once the vehicle was forced to stop, the gunmen fired at the vehicle striking Carmen several times.
