Three Arrested in Killing of 4-Year-Old Noelia in Juchitán as Oaxaca Mounts Security Operation

Investigators are pursuing a line that ties the case to an internal dispute within a local drug retail cell.

Overview

  • Authorities found Noelia Daylen, 4, dead inside a private home in Colonia La Planta during a coordinated operation.
  • Three women identified by the initials R.E.B.N., M.G.S.P., and R.I.P.G. were detained and are accused of involvement in her disappearance and death.
  • The Oaxaca prosecutor said the man killed alongside Noelia’s mother was part of a narcomenudeo cell and appears to have been the primary target of the earlier attack.
  • Initial forensic leads point to possible asphyxia and indicate the child may have recognized one of the assailants, according to the prosecutor’s office.
  • The state activated Operación Sable with about 500 personnel from Navy, Army, National Guard, state and municipal forces, as local groups plan protests over ongoing violence and feminicides.
