The FBI is joining the investigation into the attack that killed nine Mexican Americans last week near the U.S. border.
The deadly ambush in broad daylight left three women and six children dead after suspected drug cartels riddled the Mormon family’s SUV convoy with bullets on Nov. 4.
“The FBI will be providing assistance at the invitation of the Mexican government with the investigation into the recent attack against American citizens,” the FBI said in a statement, according to CNN. “The FBI remains committed to working alongside our international partners to help bring justice to the perpetrators of this heinous act of violence.”
Mexico’s foreign ministry invited the FBI to help.
Mexican authorities believe rival drug cartels attacked the family as part of a case of mistaken identity.
Last week, Trump offered to send U.S. troops to Mexica to “wipe” the cartels “off the face of the earth.”
