Overview
- The incident, which occurred July 29, began when seven armed men forced entry into Karely Ruiz’s house in San Nicolás de los Garza and fled after taking cash, jewelry and electronics.
- Nuevo León prosecutors have classified the case as a robbery with violence and municipal authorities say the thieves carried off about 20,000 pesos in cash plus unspecified jewelry and electronic items.
- Ruiz, her husband Jhon Echeverry and their daughter were in the house during the attack; Echeverry suffered a non-life-threatening head injury while Ruiz and the child were reported unhurt.
- Peritos and investigators have secured the scene, are reviewing security-camera footage from the property and neighboring houses, and have not announced any arrests.
- Ruiz has publicly confirmed her family is safe, vowed to pursue justice and criticized media for publishing private location details as early reports circulated conflicting claims about a kidnapping and larger losses.
