Overview

• Investigators executed a judge-issued arrest warrant when the 19-year-old was discharged from an IMSS hospital on Oct. 10 and transferred him to the Reclusorio Oriente.
• The case stems from a Sept. 22 attack inside UNAM’s CCH Sur that left 16-year-old Jesús Israel dead and a campus worker injured by an edged weapon.
• Prosecutors accuse Ashton of qualified homicide and attempted homicide, and a control judge has ordered him held under mandatory pretrial detention.
• The defense says Ashton remembers nothing and suffered a psychotic episode, while medical and pericial notes cited in the file report no active psychosis and clear orientation.
• Authorities have cited social-media posts that allegedly foreshadowed violence and influences, and the incident has prompted student protests urging stronger campus security.
