In late July 2026, Oaxaca prosecutors secured an arrest warrant for a male suspect linked to the femicide of D. A. Z. V. in the Mixteca region, presenting him to judicial authorities and reaffirming a gender‑focused approach to violent crime.

A week later, the same prosecutorial office executed a court‑ordered arrest of another male suspect for a qualified double homicide that had occurred in December 2024 on the Istmo de Tehuantepec’s Pan‑American Highway. The suspect was located by state investigators and transferred for legal processing. Together, the two arrests illustrate the FGEO’s ongoing effort to investigate and bring to justice high‑impact violent crimes across different regions of Oaxaca.
