Associated Press Update: A Las Vegas man admitted to police that he painted drug cartel-style threats and hung two mannequins from El Paso billboards in an effort to show that people die because of the drug trade into the United States.

Police in Texas have been left stumped by messages painted onto two billboards, alongside mannequins dressed in suits and hung from nooses.

The messages, which were daubed in white paint on two plaques in central and east El Paso, were brought to the attention of officers by motorists early Thursday morning.

One message read “Plata o Plomo”, meaning “silver or lead” in Spanish; a Mexican phrase that could mean “take the money or be killed”, the El Paso Times reported.

The other billboard bore the phrase: “Dying for drugs”.

Both billboard companies said the messages were vandalism and not paid advertisements – they have since been removed.

But it remains unknown who is behind the graffiti or who the intended recipient of the words is.
