Marisela Escobendo Ortiz
Ms. Ortiz was shot by cartel members outside of the governor of Chihuahua’s office building in December, 2010. She had been protesting the release of her daughter’s confessed killer by a Mexican court, and is believed to have been murdered in response to her protests. She and her daughter are unfortunate victims of the powerful Mexican Drug Cartels, whose funding comes primarily from the Black Market sales of marijuana in the United States.
