- The victims were forced into a black pickup and later abandoned in Tlalpan, where they called 911 for help.
- Command center operators reviewed C2 video to locate the pickup and officers intercepted it on Avenida Canal del Tezontle in Infonavit Iztacalco, detaining five suspects including three minors.
- Police seized a handgun with two cartridges, around 100 small bags containing a white powder resembling cocaine, 11 identifications including one from a justice institution, and four bank cards, all submitted to the public prosecutor.
