The relatives of former Miss USA Ali Landry and her husband, film director Alejandro Gómez Monteverde, were kidnapped and killed last weekend in Mexico.

Monteverde’s father, Juan Manuel Gómez Fernández, and brother, Juan Manuel Gómez Monteverde, were found dead in Pueblo Viejo, Veracruz on Saturday after being held hostage for ransom, according to The Wrap.

According to The Latin Times, the two were kidnapped on Sept. 4 while leaving their home in Tampico, Tamaulipas – the city that houses Juan Manuel Gómez Monteverde’s restaurant.

The two were killed even after the family paid ransom money to the kidnappers, and they were found with severe head injuries, according to The Wrap.

Neither Landry or Alejandro Gómez Monteverde have commented about the killings on social media, but fellow producer and Tampico native Eduardo Verástegui has taken to Twitter to express his condolences.

“With a heart full of pain and sadness, I ask for prayers for my friend and ‘compadre’ Alejandro Gomez Monteverde and all his family,” Verástegui Tweeted on Monday. “… I put my heart in your hands and I join you in this deep pain.”

Verástegui produced Alejandro Gómez Monteverde’s most recent movie, “Little Boy,” which was released in April.
