Overview

• Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch announced the arrest in Chilpancingo of Miguel Ángel “N,” identified as a presumed co‑participant in the homicide of Father Bertoldo Pantaleón Estrada.
• Authorities said federal and state agents gathered information to obtain an arrest warrant and executed it in a coordinated operation involving SSPC, the Guerrero prosecutor’s office, SEDENA, SEMAR, the National Guard and the FGR.
• Prosecutors have custody of the detainee and will determine his legal status, and officials have not specified the actions he is alleged to have taken.
• Authorities have advanced a primary hypothesis that the priest was killed by his driver, a claim the diocesan bishop says he cannot corroborate because he had no knowledge of the priest having a driver.
• Hundreds joined a church‑led caravan in Chilpancingo calling for peace and justice days after the priest was found fatally shot off the Iguala–Chilpancingo federal highway.
