Overview
- The latest killing was reported on November 27 in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, where Leticia, 53, was found dead in her home; local media report she was attacked with a hammer and had called for help.
- In the case of Yerli Yaritza, 18, found dead in Ocosingo, authorities detained a suspect identified as Bryan N, whom the state prosecutor described as her partner.
- Another victim, Fabiola Elizabeth, 17, was found dead in Tuxtla Gutiérrez after attending a social gathering earlier in the week.
- Colectiva Feminista 50+1 labeled Tuxtla Gutiérrez a “red flag” for violence against women, criticized the Gender Violence Alert, and demanded exhaustive, gender‑sensitive investigations, prevention programs, and comprehensive support for families.
- The collective counts 30 femicides this year versus 28 acknowledged by the state; authorities unveiled a new Femicide Atlas, tougher penalties of up to 100 years, and smartwatch alerts, which activists argue are reactive and insufficient.
