Overview

  • Authorities say Nery 'N' will remain at Santa Martha Acatitla as prosecutors pursue charges of homicide, feminicide and criminal association, with a continuation hearing set for August 25.
  • The interagency operation executed 11 search warrants across Mexico City and the State of Mexico, resulting in 13 detentions tied to the attack that killed Ximena Guzmán and José Muñoz.
  • Prosecutors reported that six of the 13 detained already had arrest warrants for homicide and association delictuosa before this week’s raids.
  • Investigators say the victims were surveilled for roughly 20 days; those arrested are linked to planning and surveillance roles, while the shooter and the intellectual authors have not been detained.
  • Separate police actions reported this week include the breakup of a car-theft crew in Palma de Mallorca, the dismantling of a Georgian burglary group in Palencia, and a Morelia raid seizing 900 methamphetamine doses.
