Armed men stormed a party in Ciudad Juarez, killing 16 high school and college students
About two dozen youth - aged 15 to 20 - were hospitalised following the assault on Saturday.
Witnesses said they thought the victims, mostly residents of the housing complex where the attack occurred, had no ties to drug traffickers.
A neighbour said one of the young men was celebrating his birthday with his schoolmates. Another witness said they had gathered to watch a boxing match.
