The FBI is assisting Mexican authorities as they investigate the kidnapping of an El Paso man in Juárez during an attack that killed three girls.
Jose Francisco Quezada Espinoza was taken away by a gunmen during a shooting that killed three young sisters and another man on Aug. 25 outside a home in Juárez.
FBI agents are assisting Mexican law enforcement officials with the kidnapping investigation because Quezada is a U.S. citizen and El Paso resident, said Special Agent Jeanette Harper, a spokeswoman for the FBI in El Paso.
Quezada, 29, was abducted outside a home in the Riberas del Bravo neighborhood, across the Rio Grande from Socorro.
A body was found Tuesday but Mexico authorities had not confirmed if it was Quezada.
During the abduction, gunmen fired more than 120 shots and killed sisters 4-year-old Arleth Sanchez Gordillo, 13-year-old Sherlyn Sanchez Gordillo and 14-year-old Lindsay Sanchez Gordillo along with Rafael Gordillo Gonzalez, 25, the Chihuahua attorney general's office said.
Quezada is a decent man who is not involved in criminal activity, a woman identifying herself as his sister posted on Facebook, adding that the family believes the abduction was an error and was praying for his safe return.
The abduction and quadruple-murder occurred amid a continuous rash of homicides due in part fighting between drug-trafficking groups and gangs for control of Juárez drug markets.
There have been more than 1,020 homicides in Juárez this year, including 10 in the first three days of September, according to a daily tally by the Norte Digital news website.

According to the State Attorney General, César Augusto Peniche in the house criminal gang members outsiders made excavations where they apparently extracted items, this on the floor and roof of the building, in addition to the fact that tactical uniforms, balaclavas and cartridges were located there.
