Mexico City Prosecutors Build Case in CCH Sur Killing as Online ‘Fan’ Pages and Unverified Psych Report Surface

Prosecutors prepare criminal action citing forensic findings plus a social media message.

Overview

  • The FGJCDMX says it has necropsy results, witness interviews, security video analysis and a mechanics-of-events report, along with a message attributed to the suspect that indicated intent to cause harm.
  • Legal experts note the 19-year-old, identified as Lex Ashton, remains in hospital under police guard but is not technically detained, with prosecutors expected to seek either a summons to an initial hearing or an arrest warrant.
  • Authorities continue investigating the fatal stabbing of 16-year-old Jesús Israel at UNAM’s CCH Sur, while the suspect faces potential charges of aggravated homicide and intentional injuries.
  • Reporters documented posts linked to Red Pill and incel rhetoric, and a preattack message expressing misogynistic resentment, as social networks host groups such as “Fans de Lex Ashton” that portray the attacker favorably.
  • A psychiatric document shared by a journalist—purportedly from IMSS—alleges severe depression, family psychiatric history and violent plans, including inspiration from U.S. school attacks, though officials have not authenticated the report.
