Two Alleged Hitmen Arrested in Colima for Mérida Shooting

A multiagency interstate intelligence operation located the suspects before they are transferred to Yucatán for judicial hearings.

Overview

  • The two men accused of carrying out the May 28 attack on a woman in the Las Américas neighborhood were located and arrested in Colima after a 10‑day interstate operation involving Yucatán security forces, the Navy and federal agencies.
  • Prosecutors say Francisco Javier 'N' was the shooter and Héctor Miguel 'N' acted as a lookout and that both face charges of attempted feminicide when they are presented to a control judge in Yucatán.
  • Authorities have identified the alleged mastermind as the victim’s ex‑husband, Ibrahim Ahmad 'N', who was detained at the scene on May 28 and remains hospitalized under custody after injuries sustained during his arrest.
  • The victim, Annalie Marino C. R., continues to receive specialist care in a local hospital and her condition is reported as serious and critical due to gunshot wounds.
  • Reports that the attack was motivated by a patrimonial dispute involving the ex‑husband have circulated but remain less firmly confirmed than the arrests and role attributions as prosecutors continue their investigation.
