Overview

• After a control hearing, a judge deemed Nery “N”’s detention legal and ordered her held in Santa Martha Acatitla on accusations of homicide, feminicide and criminal association, with a continuation hearing set for Monday, August 25.
• Authorities say 13 people were detained in an August 20 interagency operation that executed 11 raids in Mexico City and the State of Mexico with participation from FGJCDMX, SSC, SSPC, the National Guard, Sedena and the Navy.
• The FGJCDMX reported that six of the 13 detainees already had arrest warrants for homicide and criminal association, including Jesús “N”, Arlette/Arleth “N”, Nery “N”, Abraham “N”, Jesús Francisco “N” and Francisco “N”.
• Investigators describe the May 20 killings as a planned, directed attack, citing at least 20 days of prior surveillance, a thwarted attempt on May 14 and video that places Francisco “El Paco” monitoring the victims while disguised as a construction worker.
• Reports link several detainees to other serious crimes such as extortion, kidnapping, homicide and drug dealing, and officials emphasize that the shooter and alleged intellectual authors have not yet been captured.
