Overview
- Nineteen-year-old student Lex Ashton is accused of fatally stabbing classmate Jesús Israel at UNAM’s CCH Sur and then attempting to flee by jumping from a third floor.
- Local reports say the attack also injured the victim’s girlfriend and a campus employee, and Ashton remains under medical care and police custody with media reporting he could face homicide and injury charges.
- Grafologist Maryfer Centeno reviewed Ashton’s recent posts and described signs of paranoia, narcissism and possible dissociation, an interpretive assessment that has not been independently verified.
- Coverage cites reports that Ashton engaged with incel-like online groups and shared messages hinting at an attack, and some outlets report his mother warned 911 that he left home armed, claims that remain unconfirmed by authorities.
- Classmates describe Ashton as socially isolated and unsettling, while students urge stronger campus security and accept bag checks to safeguard the community.
