Clandestine graves are an all too common site in Juarez, Mexico. The city is gripped in a wave of violence as drug cartels battle each other and the federal authorities in the border town, which has lead to a more than ten-fold increase in homicides this year. Monuments such as this one can be found in well-known areas where bodies are regularly dumped. Eleven bodies were found piled one atop the other in this particular empty lot.
