Mexico City Prosecutors Link Four to AfroSan Killing as New Video Shows Coordinated Attack

Investigators are weighing whether lyrics that mention local criminal groups motivated the attack.

Overview

  • Juan Carlos Santiago Galván, known as AfroSan, was shot on February 10 in Los Olivos, Tláhuac, and died at a hospital from multiple gunshot wounds.
  • Newly shared footage published by crime reporter Carlos Jiménez shows several vehicles arriving and men surrounding a gray pickup moments before the shooting.
  • Prosecutors have placed four suspects under legal process for qualified homicide, identifying them as Ángel Damián N., Uriel N., Noé N., and Edson Jair N.
  • According to C4 Jiménez, the four were initially detained on drug charges and briefly ordered released by a judge before PDI officers served homicide warrants as they left the prosecutor’s offices.
  • Authorities are analyzing the circulated video as evidence and reviewing whether songs that reference La Unión Tepito and the Cártel de Tláhuac played a role, as separate arrest footage showed a suspect’s mother pleading for his release.
