Overview
- Herrera, arrested Wednesday in Venezuela after an Interpol Red Notice, is in custody as Mexico seeks her return to face charges.
- Prosecutors say baby‑monitor video from the April 15 killing shows the suspect following Carolina Flores into a room before multiple shots, supporting a case for premeditation.
- Investigators secured an arrest warrant on April 17 and, working with federal authorities and Interpol, used the notice to help Venezuelan police locate the suspect.
- Flores’ husband reported the death the next day and remains under investigation for a possible omission, telling a journalist he focused on caring for their 8‑month‑old; he has not been detained.
- The case has spurred a justice march in Ensenada and intensified scrutiny of femicide in Mexico, with investigators also reviewing family tensions and reported inheritance claims as potential motive.
