In García, Nuevo León, an 11-month-old boy died after being treated for deep abdominal contusions and injuries to his face and chest. The Fiscalía de Nuevo León is searching for the mother’s partner, identified as the primary suspect, while the mother, an 18-year-old, remains under investigation. During a search of a residence in the Paseo de Lincoln neighborhood, investigators seized cell phones, documents, and a knife.

In Saltillo, Coahuila, a one-year-old girl died at the Hospital Materno Infantil following severe injuries. The State Attorney General's Office reported the cause of death as traumatic brain injury and multiple trauma. The child's mother and stepfather, both adolescents, are currently subject to legal proceedings as authorities work to determine how the injuries occurred.
