Overview
- Emergency responders found a 54-year-old woman with multiple bite wounds on a street in Colonia Nacozari and confirmed she had no signs of life.
- Municipal police secured the scene and asked the state Fiscalía General del Estado to take charge of the criminal inquiry.
- The Centro Municipal de Control Animal captured and removed roughly 15–17 dogs from a nearby vacant lot where family members said the animals lived.
- Hours after the body was found, officers detained a 47-year-old man identified as the victim’s brother and owner of the dogs and reported finding a 17-centimeter knife on him.
- Forensic experts at the Servicio Médico Forense will determine whether the bite wounds caused the death and the investigation may shape possible criminal charges or public‑safety and animal‑control actions.
