Bodies of five musicians found in northern city of Reynosa , Mexico , authorities say.

Musicians from the band Grupo Fugitivo had been reported missing since Sunday .

Authorities were not immediately able to say why the men were slain, and did not deny reports that the bodies had been burned.

Their disappearance caused an uproar in Tamaulipas , a state long eclipsed by cartel warfare.

In 2013 , 17 musicians from the group Kombo Kolombia were executed by alleged cartel members in the northeastern state of Nuevo Leon , allegedly because of links to a rival gang. Agence France-Presse contributed to this report..
