Overview
- State officials in Jalisco said a burned vehicle was found in San Pedro Toxín, Tolimán, but no body was inside and the vehicle remains unclaimed.
- Party sources cited by Reforma told lawmakers the son of Jorge Luis Preciado was found burned in the vehicle, a claim media outlets reported on Feb. 20.
- A kidnapping of one of Preciado’s sons was reported in early February in Minatitlán, Colima, prompting security operations in the area.
- Jalisco authorities stated the disappearance is a Colima matter and reported that, as of late Feb. 20–21, no formal collaboration request had been received from Colima.
- The Colima–Jalisco border zone faces organized-crime disputes that hinder investigations, and Preciado posted a Feb. 15 message expressing profound personal grief.
