Overview

• Motorists reported the remains early Monday near the Chilapa–Chilpancingo/Chilapa–Tixtla route at the entrances to Lodo Grande and the Nahua community of Xochimilco.
• Security sources identified the victims as Víctor Israel, 19, Ana Perla, 22, Alfonso and María Ignacia, noting the first two had been reported missing on August 23 and 21.
• A banner at the scene warned sellers and consumers of the synthetic drug known as crystal, and a short social media video shows the four saying they sold synthetic drugs.
• Authorities cordoned the area, conducted forensic work and transferred the remains to the Servicio Médico Forense in Chilpancingo, where relatives later identified the bodies.
• Local reports place the killings in territory where Los Ardillos operate, though officials have not assigned responsibility beyond confirming the investigation.
