Overview

• State prosecutors in Mexico confirmed the identities of Bayron Sánchez (B‑King) and Jorge Herrera (Regio Clown), whose bodies were found in Cocotitlán with signs of violence after they were last seen on September 16 in Polanco.
• Reports from the scene described a narcomensaje accusing the victims and purportedly signed by La Familia Michoacana, a detail under journalistic reporting that has not been judicially attributed by authorities.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum instructed Defense, Navy, the federal prosecutor’s office, the National Guard and the public security ministry to work with the Mexico City and State of Mexico fiscalías on the case.
• Colombia’s foreign minister met Mexico’s foreign minister in New York, requesting urgency and cooperation, and received a commitment to collaborate through judicial authorities.
• The Sonora prosecutor’s office formally denied that the artists were in or disappeared in that state, while Sheinbaum said the case will not affect ties with Colombia as President Gustavo Petro publicly condemned the killings.
