Recent reports highlight separate investigations into the feminicide of young girls in different Mexican states.

In Chiapas, authorities in Tuxtla Gutiérrez detained an 18-year-old suspect, Agustín “N”, in connection with the death of 12-year-old Lizbeth “N”. Surveillance footage reportedly showed the suspect, the victim's brother-in-law, stalking the child. A necropsy identified the cause of death as mechanical asphyxia due to strangulation. The incident has led to protests by feminist collectives demanding judicial transparency.

In Puebla, the State Attorney General's Office obtained a formal indictment against a 17-year-old male, identified as A. M. G., for the feminicide of 15-year-old student Dariana N. Investigations suggest the victim was lured to an abandoned building where she was attacked with physical force and a knife. Forensic reports cited facial trauma, traumatic brain injury, and asphyxiation as the causes of death. A juvenile justice judge has ordered preventive detention for the suspect.
