Cartel hitmen kidnapped seven teenagers and left them for dead in an abandoned ranch in Zacatecas, Mexico.

Knewz.com has learned that although authorities found the boys, only one was alive.

The 18-year-old survivor Sergio Acevedo is currently in the hospital recovering from head injuries, where the police are guarding him. The other six boys have been identified as Diego Rodríguez, 17, Jorge Ocon, 14, Héctor Salcedo, 14, Gumaro Santacruz, 18, Oscar Rojas, 15, and Jesús Rodríguez, 18.

Acevedo, and the bodies of the six other boys, were found during search efforts in the area near the community of Casa Blanca, in the mountainous region of the municipality of Villanueva, Zacatecas. As of now, the police do not believe the boys themselves were involved with the drug cartel.

The boys were hanging out with a group of girls at a ranch in the La Soledad neighborhood on Sunday, September 24, when the kidnapping occurred, the Daily Star reported. A group of cartel hitmen brandishing guns raided the ranch and kidnapped the boys, following which they were forced into cars and driven nine miles away to another ranch.
