Cops: Four arrested in Texas kidnapping revenge case

Keith said Salazar believed the 25-year-old woman played a role in the August killing of her brother.

The woman told cops she was abducted last month, tied to a chair and forced to take drugs including heroin.

Mercedes Salazar and one of her alleged accomplices, 29-year-old James Cerda, were running errands, while another, Teanna San Nicolas, 24, was watching over the victim.

“At many points in the time period while [the victim] was there, they had zip-tied her to a chair, threatened to kill and harm her with scissors and a knife.

We even have reason to believe there was a blood ritual performed on her”, a spokesman for the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office told the station.

The kidnapped victim had been held captive at a home on the 11000 block of Bluff Canyon near Lackland Air Force Base for three days by Salazar and three other suspects: James Cerda, Teanna San Nicolas and Tristan Smith, the Daily Mail reported. Deputies forced their way into the home and found San Nicholas threatening the victim with a knife.

Mercedes Salazar, 32, was the fourth person arrested in this case, according to the station. The victim convinced San Nicholas to cut her loose so she could move around, eat and go to the bathroom, police said. The three other suspects have also been arrested. The woman once dated the man who was found slain at an abandoned apartment building.

It was not immediately clear if the victim was being looked at for any involvement in Angel Salazar’s murder.

“We are the ones responsible for carrying out justice and arresting people”. “That’s what this Mercedes Salazar and a few of her colleagues chose to do”.

Salazar was charged with aggravated kidnapping and was released from jail Tuesday after posting $75,000 bail.
