Overview
- Police and emergency crews responded to a neighbor’s call and, on Friday, September 4, found Víctor Manuel Sixtos Vázquez — known as Farath Coronel — dead inside his Bosques del Lago home with injuries consistent with gunshot wounds.
- The Fiscalía General de Justicia del Estado de México (FGJEM) opened a homicide investigation, secured the house for forensic diligences and later announced the detention of Elías 'N', identified as one of Coronel’s security escorts and the alleged material author of the killing.
- Multiple outlets reported leaked audio, video and social posts that claim a prior argument and the removal of belongings, including a vehicle, but authorities say those versions are unconfirmed and are being verified as part of the probe.
- Colleagues and friends publicly mourned Coronel and pushed for justice, raising fresh questions about the security of media figures after Coronel survived a 2022 incident in which gunfire was heard during a live stream.
- Investigators will complete forensic tests and the legal process to determine motive, timeline and possible additional suspects, and the FGJEM will present further findings as they verify the circulating evidence.
