Karely Ruiz robbery in Nuevo León sparks investigation and public backlash

On the night of July 29, 2026, seven armed, masked men broke into the home of Mexican influencer Karely Ruiz in San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León. The intruders beat Ruiz’s husband, DJ Jhon Echeverry, and stole roughly 20,000 pesos in cash, jewelry and electronic devices. Ruiz and her one‑year‑old daughter escaped physical injury, and Ruiz later posted that the family’s safety was the only thing that mattered.

Ruiz publicly condemned the attack, blamed media outlets for publishing her address, and vowed to pursue justice, stating “we will not let this go unpunished.” She also faced accusations that she fabricated the robbery for fame; she denied the claims and called the critics “sick.” Her husband, Jhon Echeverry, later broke his silence, confirming the investigation is ongoing, refusing to give details, and noting that no arrests have been made yet. Authorities from the Secretaría de Seguridad Pública and the Fiscalía of Nuevo León continue to investigate the violent robbery.
