Overview

  • Demonstrators demanding justice for Orlando Manuel Gutiérrez blocked the Autopista México–Toluca and key Santa Fe arteries, creating multi‑kilometer traffic jams.
  • The action began around 8:00 at the Glorieta Salvador Agraz, spread to Prolongación Paseo de la Reforma and Santa Fe roundabouts, and reached the toll highway toward Constituyentes.
  • After a full closure through early afternoon, authorities negotiated phased lane openings, and the blockade was fully lifted around 18:00, with residual congestion persisting nearby.
  • Local officials from Alcaldía Cuajimalpa and the Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana engaged protesters on site and assisted in restoring traffic flow.
  • Families allege investigative delays and irregularities, urge that the accused not be released, and were joined by relatives of delivery worker Daniel Tadeo, who died in a separate December incident.
