Overview

• Authorities identified the victims as Esmeralda Ferrer Garibay, 32, her husband Roberto Carlos Gil Licea, 36, and their children Gael, 13, and Regina, 7.
• CCTV tracing of the abandoned Ford Ranger led detectives to a nearby mechanic’s workshop in the Guadalajara area.
• Prosecutors report ballistic indicators and blood traces suggesting the family was killed at that site, with formal forensic results still pending.
• Two men tied to the workshop were questioned and released, then three people connected to them were abducted shortly after they left the prosecutor’s office, according to officials.
• Investigators prioritize the husband’s vehicle-trading and agricultural links in Michoacán as the probable motive rather than the influencer’s online content.
