Chiapas Government Secretary Accuses Security Chief of Cover-Up in Student’s Death Case

A public rift now spotlights accountability over a May 15 pursuit that left a Mactumatzá student dead.

Overview

  • Secretary of Government Dulce Rodríguez Ovando alleged Security Secretary Óscar Aparicio tried to shield his agents and violated due process by declaring the death an accident on the day of the incident.
  • State prosecutors say the autopsy found fatal cranioencephalic trauma with no evidence of firearm injuries, supported by forensic photos, videos, and C5 footage showing a high‑speed pickup and the student’s fall.
  • Two State Guard agents identified as Refugio “N” and Rubicel “N” were detained and placed under criminal process in investigation file 947-101-0205-2025.
  • La Fiscalía indicated the detained officers failed to follow basic use‑of‑force protocols during the operation.
  • Authorities say the investigation continues under principles of impartiality, transparency, and justice.
