Mexico launches Amber Alert for missing 1‑year‑old; newborn abandonment case opened in Coahuila

The Fiscalía General de Justicia de la Ciudad de México (FGJCDMX) issued an Amber Alert for Inés Eithan Zuriel Mendoza Sánchez, a 1‑year‑old boy who vanished on 23 June 2026 in the Barrio La Santísima area of Xochimilco, Mexico City. Authorities say the child was last seen with his father and describe him as a medium‑built, light‑skinned male wearing a gray dinosaur‑print onesie, striped black pants and white sneakers. The public has been asked to report any information that could locate him while the investigation continues.

Separately, the Fiscalía General del Estado in Coahuila opened an investigation after a premature newborn was found alive near a trash container in the Independencia neighborhood of Castaños on 24 June 2026. The baby, who was exposed to the elements, is being treated in a local hospital under continuous observation. Prosecutors are gathering evidence and testimonies to identify those responsible for the abandonment, working in coordination with the state child‑protection agency (PRONNIF).
