Overview

• The Mexico City prosecutor’s office opened cases for homicidio calificado and lesiones dolosas after the on-campus attack that left a 16-year-old student dead and a worker injured.
• First inquiries identified the victim as Jesús Israel N, 16, and the alleged attacker as Lex Ashton N, 19, who remains under police custody while hospitalized with fractures in both legs.
• Officials said the assailant entered hooded and armed with a knife, wounded a staff member who tried to intervene, and then jumped from a building in an attempted escape.
• UNAM suspended classes at CCH Sur until further notice, activated its protocol for violence with weapons, and turned the suspect over to SSC after outside access was initially limited by university autonomy.
• Investigators are collecting student videos and reviewing a Facebook profile under the name “Lex Ashton” that posted images and a message hours before the attack, as SEP and CDMX leaders issued condolences and pledged support.
