Body Of ‘Narcos’ Location Scout Found Riddled With Bullets: Killed Scouting For Netflix Show In Mexico
An attempt to get the perfect location for shooting the Netflix show Narcos has ended in tragedy with the location scout shot dead. Carlos Munoz Portal’s body was found inside his car on Monday riddled with bullets in a remote location in Mexico.
Portal’s body was inside his car in a remote location in Central Mexico, close to Hildago. The city of Hildago has “one of the highest murder rates in Mexico,” according to Fox News.
This highly respected veteran location scout was discovered on a dirt road in San Bartolo Actopan, which is in the municipality of Temascalapa in Mexico. His death was reported by several Mexican journalists on the social media sites.
One of Portal’s friends told reporters that he had taken a camera with him for taking pictures of the spots he was scouting. His friend suggested, “Maybe they thought he was collecting information and they started tracking him in a car.”
