Overview
- Guadalupe Urban Ceballos was shot from a motorcycle on the morning of Nov. 6 after leaving her parents’ home in San Juan Cacahuatepec, and her body was found on the road to San Antonio Ocotlán.
- The attorney general said the inquiry centers on two hypotheses: a criminal cell operating along the Oaxaca–Guerrero border or a dispute over a family property.
- Prosecutors deployed a joint operation with State Police, the Navy, the Army and the National Guard to conduct forensics and interviews, with coordination reported with Guerrero authorities.
- Officials reported no prior records of threats against Urban or her relatives, and no arrests have been announced as the probe advances with what the prosecutor called strong leads.
- Authorities pointed to recent regional criminal activity, including cross-border incursions and an Oct. 15 arrest of an alleged hitman tied to major groups, as context for the organized-crime line.
