Overview

• Authorities say a 19-year-old identified as Lex Ashton allegedly killed 16-year-old Jesús Israel “N” at UNAM’s CCH Sur with a bladed weapon shortly after midday.
• A 65-year-old staff member identified as Armando “N” was injured while intervening, and the suspect jumped from a building, fracturing both legs before being placed under SSC custody at a hospital.
• The FGJ-CDMX opened a criminal investigation for homicidio calificado and lesiones and is carrying out ministerial, pericial and police work in coordination with the SSC.
• UNAM condemned the attack, suspended classes at the plantel, offered legal support to victims and announced a review of prevention and protection protocols, including security measures for the CCH system.
• Students and staff held protests urging the removal of director Susana de los Ángeles Lira de Garay and questioning access controls, as online attention focused on the suspect’s pre-attack Facebook images and unproven comparisons to prior school incidents.
