Overview
- State prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez said specialized teams are meeting regularly to review evidence and coordinate investigative lines in the killing of attorney Emilia Ortega Aceves.
- Authorities reported ongoing review of the legal matters Ortega had in progress at her firm and continued direct communication with her children and relatives for information sharing.
- Bar associations from Tijuana and Mexicali advanced a proposal for a joint oversight commission with the Fiscalía, with plans for a formal agreement and quarterly meetings to monitor cases.
- The initiative envisions a standardized registry of investigations, a liaison program to handle requests from the legal community, and scrutiny of legal processes tied to slain lawyers.
- Two days earlier, about 200 people joined a silent march to the state prosecutor’s offices in Tijuana demanding results, as guild leaders cited 13 lawyers killed this sexenio and no public report of arrests in Ortega’s case.
