## Caption

A startling video has revealed the moment a gang leader pranked one of the nine students whose dismembered bodies were found on the side of a road in Mexico last weekend. José 'EL Jocha' Lavariega was seen trying to scare one of the young people inside a hotel - before they were all found dead in Puebla. Lavariega - who was friends with the nine slain students and invited them to cartel-ridden Oaxaca to commit robberies against local people - was also shot dead in his car not long after, with the culprit leaving a note at the scene, calling him a 'thief.' In the unearthed video, Lavariega said 'they took George, dude,' 'dude, it's me, Jocha. It's Jocha open up,' he said. A young man then opened the door and stepped out, telling Jocha, 'Stop playing, whitey.' It's unclear when the 30-second video was filmed, but its release comes as authorities continue to investigate the gruesome murder of five men and four women, who were part of a gang called 'Los Brujos.' The victims were identified as Rubén Ramos, Rolando Evaristo and Uriel Calva, each 22; Raúl González and Noemí López, both 28; Jacqueline Meza, 23; Lesly Noya, 21, and 29-year-old Angie Pérez.
