Overview
- Mexico City investigators detained Ángel “N” in Tecámac and identified him as the probable material author of the homicide, then transferred him to the Reclusorio Preventivo Varonil Norte pretrial jail.
- Police also executed an arrest warrant for Yael “N” for the same case while he remained in custody on earlier drug and bribery charges.
- Judicial orders followed evidence tying both men to the December 6, 2025 killing of 27-year-old Reynosa city councilor Brayan Nicolás Vicente, also reported as Brayan Salinas, in Colonia Tabacalera.
- Authorities say security video and money trails supported the case, including bank card withdrawals and messages sent to the victim’s contacts asking for cash.
- Investigators allege the councilor met two people at a nearby bar and was later killed by strangulation, and court hearings will determine whether prosecutors can advance homicide charges.
