Overview
- The State of Mexico prosecutor’s office executed an arrest warrant for Cristopher “N,” alias “El Comandante,” identifying him as a probable coauthor with functional control over the double homicide.
- Authorities report 16 people detained in the case, including 10 foreign nationals from Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, and Spain, on allegations ranging from homicide to extortion and organized crime.
- Investigators outline a working hypothesis that an individual known as “El Pantera” ordered the murders for about 200,000 pesos, within a network linked to 2‑CB (Tusi) and “Coco Channel” distribution and “gota a gota” extortion schemes tied to a front business called Emprende Coin.
- Case files describe how “El Comandante” allegedly won the victims’ trust and coordinated their pickup through a driver, Mariano “N,” after the musicians were last seen on September 16 in Polanco before being taken to Iztapalapa.
- Forensic findings include the September 17 recovery and identification of the remains in Cocotitlán, a cause of death of external hemorrhage from cutting and puncture wounds, and a DNA match from a straw found in a silver Mercedes Benz tracked during searches; prosecutors say the killings likely occurred outside the State of Mexico and the investigation remains active with CDMX and federal coordination.
