The horrifying incident took place on December 22, 2019, while several cars were stopped at a traffic light on a road in the border city of Ciudad Juárez.

‘Record, Cruz,’ the male shooter is heard telling his accomplice on the video after opening the vehicle’s door.

The suspect is seen walking to the driver’s side of the pickup truck and fired off at least 14 shots as traffic started to flow in both directions.
