Overview
- Mexico City prosecutors secured a judge’s order binding Héctor “N” to trial for the killing of attorney David Cohen, setting a three‑month deadline for the complementary investigation and keeping him in pretrial detention.
- A second suspect, Donovan “N,” was arrested this week as the FGJ‑CDMX reviews ballistic evidence to determine which detainee fired the fatal shot and examines Cohen’s casework to identify possible intellectual authors of the attack.
- Authorities detailed that two armed assailants arrived on a motorcycle, Cohen was struck in the groin and head, and one attacker initially escaped on a stolen bicycle before later being detained.
- Peru’s Ministerio Público requested preliminary judicial detention for police subofficers Luis Magallanes and Omar Saavedra over the shooting death of protester Eduardo Ruiz in Lima, with a court evaluating the request as senior officials issue conflicting statements and a congressional security chair called the images of the operation lamentable.
- Sinaloa saw a Mexican Army major killed in an armed attack in Tepuche that prompted air and ground operations, and a riot at the Aguaruto prison left one inmate dead and three injured, with authorities seizing long guns, handguns and an explosive device.
