- Cris Hernán Pérez Rentería, 24, died early Tuesday at the Hospital General de Torreón after being detained following a payment dispute at the Mr Rabbit bar.
- Relatives and friends say he showed no visible injuries when held at the municipal facility, sharing a photo of him standing behind bars before he was later hospitalized with a head injury.
- The Coahuila state prosecutor’s office (Delegación Laguna I) opened a criminal investigation and ordered the transfer of the body to SEMEFO for the legally required necropsy.
- Authorities are reviewing conflicting accounts that point to either an assault inside the bar or injuries sustained during or after police intervention.
- Municipal officials offered few details and canceled a planned police briefing, while a state deputy and a city councilor called for an immediate, independent and transparent inquiry with accountability.
