Overview
- State authorities reported detaining three people, including a woman, in connection with the death of a 23-year-old identified as S. N. O.
- Investigators say the victim was seized after a disagreement with the assailants, killed in a house, and later left dismembered in a cardboard box.
- The remains were discovered on October 14 in Colonia Jardín in northern Oaxaca after neighbors called 911 about a sealed parcel emitting a foul odor.
- Officials stated the detainees belong to a local distribution gang and have prior links to other crimes, with arrests made at three locations in the city.
- The case was initially framed as a presumed kidnapping, and authorities place it within broader anti-crime actions that include roughly 500 raids and more than 1,500 detentions, with 15 tied to rival local gangs in recent months.
