Five of the bodies had gunshot wounds and all were wearing dark clothing and tactical vests containing ammunition, authorities said.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador attributed the deaths to cartel violence and said some of the victims were migrants from Guatemala."What causes this?

The president promised a thorough investigation into the deaths and said security in Chiapas will be reinforced.
