- Investigators ruled out a self-inflicted shot and opened an intentional homicide case after reviewing initial reports and surveillance footage.
- Forensic personnel reported a gunshot wound to the face, securing a 9mm firearm, a spent casing and a cellphone between official patrol vehicles at the scene.
- Police investigators, prosecutors and forensic teams responded, and the body was transferred to the medical examiner for a legal autopsy.
- No public statement from the National Guard had been reported, and local coverage notes this is the first death of a female guard in 2026 and the fourth similar case in Guerrero, with a 2025 Acapulco killing cited for context without a confirmed link.
