"One message read “silver or lead” in Spanish, a threat heard in Mexico signifying pay up or get shot.
“This (message) has historically been used by Mexican drug cartels to threaten or intimidate Mexican citizens, business owners and government officials. However, we have never experienced this in El Paso,” Sgt. Chris Mears, a spokesman for the El Paso Police Department, said in a statement. “The investigation is ongoing, but we do not have any information to suggest this was done to target any individual person or business at this time.”
