Overview

• Investigators executed a judge-issued arrest order as Ashton left IMSS Hospital Regional No. 2 in Coyoacán, read him his rights and transported him to Reclusorio Oriente.
• Prosecutors say he fatally stabbed 16-year-old Jesús Israel at UNAM’s CCH Sur on September 22 and injured a campus worker who intervened.
• After the attack, Ashton jumped from a campus building, suffered fractures and spent weeks under police custody in the hospital before Friday’s discharge.
• Authorities say he will be presented before a control judge shortly to determine his legal status while the FGJ-CDMX continues gathering evidence.
• The defense argues Ashton experienced a psychotic episode and has memory gaps, signaling mental-health evaluations will factor into the case as the UNAM community presses for stronger campus security.
