Overview

• The federal security cabinet reported that 25 September registered 37 homicidios dolosos nationwide, the lowest single-day total since 2018.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum framed the figure as part of a sustained decline, citing a 32% drop in the period from September 2024 to August 2025 and rejecting claims of underreporting.
• Guanajuato recorded six victims that day, while Guerrero, Michoacán, Morelos, Estado de México, Chihuahua and Sinaloa each reported three, with smaller counts in several other states.
• Accounts diverged on historical context, with some outlets naming a prior low of 42 on 22 August 2024 and others citing 38 in July 2025, and reports differed on whether 12 or 16 states had zero killings.
• Officials emphasized the figure is preliminary and subject to revision, and recent federal data indicate August posted the lowest monthly daily average of the current administration.
