Family blockade on Calzada de Tlalpan seeks faster action from city authorities.

Overview

  • Ximena López Rosales, 17, was last seen on October 16 in La Magdalena Petlacalco, and her case is registered with the CDMX search commission under folio 03153-2025-CBP.
  • About 40 relatives, friends, and neighbors led by her father, Rogelio Pérez Mendoza, blocked Calzada de Tlalpan near Hermanos Pinzón and Chimalcóyotl to press for results from the Fiscalía and the Tlalpan mayor’s office.
