Overview
- Neighbors and private C5 video helped police identify and detain Salvador “N” after officers stopped a man matching the footage near Atlixco and Juan Escutia on Friday, October 30.
- The Fiscalía obtained and executed an order of apprehension and a judge linked the accused to process, imposing preventive custody as authorities assemble additional evidence.
- Pericial analyses and necropsies confirmed metomilo, a potent insecticide dangerous to mammals and people, inside capsules found in meat baits collected at the scene.
- Investigators recovered 14 contaminated baits across Parque España and nearby streets and the Fiscalía reports between four and five dogs died with several others treated for severe poisoning.
- The case is being pursued as maltrato or crueldad animal under CDMX law, which carries multi‑year prison terms and fines, and authorities warn residents to keep pets leashed and avoid discarded food.
