Overview

• Investigators executed a judge-approved arrest warrant at IMSS Regional Hospital No. 2 on October 10 and transferred the 19-year-old to Reclusorio Preventivo Varonil Oriente.
• Prosecutors accuse him of qualified homicide and attempted homicide tied to the September 22 attack that killed a 16-year-old student and injured a 65-year-old worker at UNAM’s CCH Sur.
• The defense says he suffered a psychotic episode and has no memory of the incident, while medical notes cited in court reports describe him as oriented and without signs of active psychosis.
• A control judge imposed preventive custody after the defense requested the constitutional term’s extension, with a hearing on October 16 to decide whether to bind him over for trial.
• Authorities continue gathering evidence, including social‑media material showing weapons and potential links under review to online incel communities, as the UNAM community presses for stronger campus security.
