Overview
- The Guerrero State Attorney General’s Office said agents detained Harold “N” in Acapulco on June 12–13, 2026 under a warrant linked to the April 2025 killing of Suástegui.
- Officials say the suspect is one of the alleged shooters and that investigations indicate he fired at Suástegui during the April 18, 2025 attack near the access to Playa Icacos.
- The arrest was carried out by the Policía Investigadora Ministerial with support from state police, the Mexican Army, the National Guard, the Navy and the federal security ministry.
- Harold “N” will be presented to a control judge who will decide his legal situation while prosecutors continue forensic and witness work and pursue any additional suspects.
- Suástegui led CECOP community recovery and environmental campaigns opposing local development and extraction projects, and his killing highlighted persistent risks faced by grassroots leaders in Guerrero.
