Sonora authorities detain woman for aggravated feminicide

A 19-year-old woman, identified as Alexa Guadalupe “N”, has been placed in preventive detention in Sonora following an incident in the Palma Dorada neighborhood of Caborca.

According to the State Attorney General's Office (FGJE), the incident began on the night of October 12 after a dispute between the suspect and Julissa Lizbeth “N” near a grocery store. Investigators allege that Alexa Guadalupe “N” physically assaulted and threatened the victim during the argument.

Approximately thirty minutes later, the suspect allegedly returned in a gray sedan and deliberately drove the vehicle into two women standing outside a residence. Julissa Lizbeth “N” was struck and died at the scene. The second woman, Vivian Dayana “N”, managed to avoid the direct path of the vehicle but sustained injuries that are not considered life-threatening. The suspect fled the scene following the collision but was apprehended early Wednesday morning.

She faces charges of aggravated feminicide and attempted homicide.
