Video After The Jump
Two Americans who survived a cartel kidnapping in Mexico that left 2 of their friends & an innocent local woman dead have revealed horrifying details of the attack.
Latavia Washington McGee & Eric Williams spoke with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday & revealed how the gunmen cornered their minivan, kidnapped the group & killed Shaeed Woodard & Zindell Brown.
The 4 U.S. citizens were driving in Matamoros on March 3 when Washington McGee says the group turned down a side street & heard a car horn. "Zindell was in the back seat, he said 'don't stop,' he saw a gun."
When they were forced to stop, Woodard & Brown opened the vehicle's doors & ran out but were both immediately gunned down.
"When I jumped out on the driver's side, that's when I was shot in both legs," Williams said.
Williams, 38, said he couldn't see Shaeed because he was somewhere behind him, "but I could see Zindell's back. He was hit 2 times & big chunks of meat was gone."
The 4 Americans were loaded into the back of a pickup truck & at that stage, Brown & Woodard were still alive.
The pair said they arrived at a house where the kidnappers wore red "Diablo masks" & put "guns at our heads, telling us not to look up."
Williams said some sort of cartel "investigator" interrogated the group & "that's when Shaeed said 'I love y'all, I'm gone,' & he died right there." Williams revealed, "It was the last thing he said."
Disturbingly, the cartel members also tried to make the two survivors have sex with each other. Washington Brown and Williams told CNN they refused and told the gunmen they were brother and sister and she was pregnant.
Mexican authorities have charged six men over the kidnapping. 5 cartel members were also charged
