Mexican police have arrested two men suspected of murdering a mother and son<\/a><\/span>, who were killed while they searched for her other missing son, prosecutors said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Maria del Carmen Morales and her 26-year-old son Jaime Daniel Ramirez Morales were shot dead last week in Jalisco state. Together, they had been searching for another son who went missing last year.<\/p>\n

The 43-year-old mother belonged to the Guerreros Buscadores collective, a group that searches for missing relatives. The group’s discovery of bones, shoes and clothing<\/a><\/span> at a suspected drug cartel training camp in Jalisco in March shocked Mexico.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0statement posted to social media<\/a> after the arrests were announced, Guerreros Buscadores said: “Although nothing can alleviate the pain, it is a step towards justice.”<\/p>\n

Near midnight on April 23, the attackers opened fire on mother and son from a motorcycle near their home, investigators said<\/a>, adding that Morales had been trying to defend her son when she was targeted.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor’s office in the western Jalisco state named the alleged murderers as Juan Manuel N., 27, and Jose Luis N., 24, and said they were suspected of links to a dozen other killings. The prosecutor’s office also released images and video<\/a> of the arrested suspects on social media.<\/p>\n

The search group’s grisly find at the cartel training camp in Jalisco shone a spotlight on forced recruitment and other tactics employed by criminal gangs in Mexico, where more than 120,000 people are missing.<\/p>\n

Disappearances soared after the government declared war on drug trafficking groups in 2006. Around 480,000 people have been murdered in a spiral of violence since then.<\/p>\n

In addition to the discovery at the ranch, other mass graves have been found in recent months in Mexico. In January, at least\u00a056 bodies were discovered<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in unmarked mass graves in northern Mexico, not far from the border with the United States.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0mass grave<\/a><\/span>\u00a0discovered in December in a suburb of Guadalajara with dozens of bags of dismembered body parts contained the remains of 24 people, authorities said. That same month, Mexican authorities said they recovered a total of\u00a031 bodies<\/a><\/span>\u00a0from pits in Chiapas, a state plagued by cartel violence.<\/p>\n

Collectives searching for missing persons<\/a><\/span>\u00a0say that cartels and other organized crime gangs sometimes use ovens to incinerate their victims and leave no trace.<\/p>\n
