The ominous message “Plata o Ploma,” coupled with a dummy hanging in a noose, has triggered an investigation in El Paso, Texas.
Police in El Paso, Texas, are investigating a bizarre billboard that surprised commuters on the east side of the city on Thursday morning. The sign reads "Plata o Plomo," a Spanish phrase that loosely translates to "pay up or die" ("plata" is the Spanish word for silver, referring to money, while "plomo" means lead).
It is not known who put up the message or for whom it was intended. A video published on the El Paso Times website shows a mannequin in a suit hanging from a noose off the side of the billboard, seen in the photo below. It appears the mannequin has been taken down.
The company who owns the billboard say the message was vandalism and not an advertisement.
