Sonora Prosecutors Probe Sisters’ Killings and Charge Suspect in Feminicide, While Michoacán Makes 2024 Homicide Arrest

Prosecutors point to a family crime environment in the Obregón double slaying, with the feminicide pursued under a gender perspective.

Overview

  • The Sonora attorney general’s office is investigating the shooting deaths of Julisa “N,” 19, and her 14-year-old sister on Dec. 8 in Ciudad Obregón after assailants exited a sedan and opened fire as the sisters walked to a store.
  • Investigators prioritized a line that ties the attack to a criminogenic family setting and small‑scale drug dealing, noting the victims’ mother, Silvia “N,” has been jailed since Nov. 11 for narcomenudeo and the father, Rey Francisco “N,” is also detained for the same crime.
  • In a separate case, FGJES presented Miguel Ángel “N” to a judge for the feminicide of Lourdes Angélica “N,” securing justified preventive detention with a continuation hearing set for Dec. 12.
  • Forensic experts determined Lourdes Angélica “N” died from asphyxia by suffocation; AMIC captured the suspect in a Dec. 9 raid supported by the Navy and Army on the road from Ciudad Obregón to Navojoa.
  • In Michoacán, state prosecutors executed an arrest warrant and detained Jessica Andrea “N” for probable aggravated homicide in Morelia tied to a Dec. 6, 2024 case in which the victim, Cuauhtémoc L., was subdued, moved, and fatally shot, and she has been presented to a control judge.
