Overview
- María del Carmen Morales, 43, and her son Jaime Daniel Ramírez, 26, were killed on April 23 in Jalisco by gunmen on a motorcycle.
- Both were members of Guerreros Buscadores, a citizen search group that discovered the Izaguirre ranch in March, containing cremation ovens and human remains.
