Overview

• The Guerrero state prosecutor’s office reported the arrest of an adolescent as a probable coauthor of the Oct. 4 homicide of the parish priest.
• The youth allegedly acted with Miguel Ángel “N,” an adult detained on Oct. 10, bringing the total in custody to two through coordinated operations by state and federal forces.
• The minor was presented to a control judge and is being held at the Centro de Ejecución de Menores in Chilpancingo pending proceedings.
• Authorities have not established a motive, and accounts conflict over whether a supposed driver was involved, a claim disputed by local residents and the diocese.
• The Chilpancingo-Chilapa diocese appointed Filiberto Velázquez to lead the Mezcala parish and its bishop publicly expressed forgiveness toward those responsible.
