Suspect Detained in Yerli Yaritza Feminicide With Chiapas Seeking Up to 100 Years

Prosecutors plan to seek the maximum penalty based on video evidence plus a necropsy finding of strangulation.

Overview

  • The Chiapas attorney general announced the detention of Brian (Brayan) Alexis 'N' as the presumed perpetrator in the killing of 18-year-old Yerli Yaritza.
  • Investigators reviewed surveillance footage showing the victim entering a residence with a man and later only the man leaving, supported by additional technological analyses.
  • The legal autopsy determined death by asphyxia due to strangulation, activating the feminicide investigation protocol.
  • Authorities said the suspect had a sentimental relationship with the victim and has been integrated into the case file for prosecution.
  • Prosecutors said they will request a sentence of up to 100 years, with the detainee to be held at a state reinsertion center as the judicial process advances; feminist groups continue to demand justice.
