According to Tamaulipas state prosecutors, the five men were kidnapped at about 10 p.m. Sunday (May 25) while en route to a gig in an SUV. Authorities recovered their bodies on the outskirts of Reynosa, a border city plagued by drug cartel violence.

The five victims—Francisco Javier Vázquez, Nemesio Antonio Durán, band manager Livan Solís de la Rosa, Víctor Manuel Garza, and José Francisco Morales—were between the ages of 20 and 40.

Grupo Fugitivo often played at local parties and dances. A post made to the band’s Facebook page Sunday (May 25) indicated they were headed to McAllen, Texas. Surveillance footage confirms the men arrived at a palapa bar in the

Rancho Grande neighborhood of Reynoso. However, no footage shows them leaving the establishment. Later, family members reported receiving ransom demands, according to the BBC

Rings have always held meaning beyond decoration. Across history and cultures, they’ve symbolized everything from love and loyalty to power and spiritual beliefs.

While most people recognize the symbolism of rings worn on the ring or index finger, fewer understand the message behind a thumb ring.

Wearing a ring on the ring finger usually represents romantic commitment, like marriage or engagement. The index finger often signifies leadership, ambition, and confidence. These placements are widely known and carry traditional symbolism.

However, thumb rings are more mysterious to many. In some cultures, they have represented strength, independence, or even wealth. In modern times, wearing a ring on the thumb can be a personal style choice—but it still subtly signals individuality and self-assurance.

In the United States, at least 79 minors under the age of 14 are serving life sentences without the possibility of parole—a harsh reality that has sparked national and international outrage. Human rights groups like Human

Rights Watch and the Equal Justice Initiative argue that such sentences violate basic principles of justice and children’s rights, especially since most of these children come from backgrounds marked by poverty, abuse, and systemic inequality.

One notable case is that of Lionel Tate, sentenced at age 12 for the death of a younger child during play. Though his sentence was eventually reduced, it ignited fierce debate about trying minors as adults.

Experts argue that children are not yet fully developed emotionally or morally, and deserve the chance to grow, change, and be rehabilitated. Despite landmark U.S. Supreme Court rulings in 2012 and 2016 outlawing mandatory life sentences for juveniles and requiring retroactive application, many cases remain unreviewed.

In the image captured from the scene, debris litters the street below a red-brick residential tower that has suffered catastrophic structural failure. Balconies have collapsed, air conditioning units hang dangerously from cracked walls,

A powerful earthquake has struck central Colombia, leaving a trail of destruction across multiple cities. The most dramatic scene emerged from downtown Bogotá, where a multi-story apartment building partially collapsed,

leaning precariously onto a neighboring structure. Emergency services have confirmed multiple fatalities and dozens of injuries, with many residents still feared trapped under the rubble. Read more below
