- Henry, 2, died after nearly two months in a Mexico City burn unit with burns over about 80–85% of his body, and his father is recovering at home.
- The State of Mexico prosecutor said it will ask to reclassify the case to homicide for those already charged.
- Four suspects have been detained and are facing charges, and investigators are seeking at least three more people linked to the attack.
- Authorities say two hooded attackers set fire to a 3B store in Valle de Chalco using gasoline and Molotov cocktails, injuring Henry, his father, and a bystander who tried to help.
