Criminal investigations and fatalities in Querétaro

Overview

Recent reports from Querétaro, Mexico, detail two separate criminal investigations involving fatalities.

In Corregidora, the State Attorney General's Office has linked an adolescent to a qualified homicide following a September 5 incident in the La Negreta neighborhood. The victim, Carlos Patiño, was reportedly attacked while attempting to protect his family. A judicial authority has ordered preventive detention for the adolescent while investigations continue to determine if other individuals were involved.

In San Juan del Río, family members of Óscar “N” have held protests at the Criminal Justice Court. They are seeking justice for the man’s death on April 27, which occurred while he was in custody following an administrative detention. The family is contesting a legal appeal by the defense of three state police officers accused of abuse; the defense is reportedly seeking to reclassify the charge from intentional homicide to simple homicide. The accused officers have been removed from the State Police and remain free pending legal proceedings.
