Concern is growing in Puebla after 17-year-old Jesali García Cano Ortega went missing following the Mexico vs. England soccer match in Angelópolis. Jesali attended the game at the “Mezontle” nightclub on Sunday night but never returned home, sparking a social media search and fears for his safety.

Jesali was expected to be home after 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 5, 2026, but he stopped responding to calls and messages. His family quickly reported him missing and shared his photo online early Monday morning, July 6, hoping to find him as soon as possible.

Adding to the worry, some speculate Jesali might be the young man who was violently beaten on Avenida Juárez that same night by a group of allegedly intoxicated youths. Social media users have urged Jesali’s family to check local hospitals, fearing he could be receiving medical care after the attack.

Rumors circulated that Jesali had been found, but close contacts have denied this, emphasizing that the search continues and asking the public to keep sharing his photo. Every minute counts in clarifying what happened and ensuring Jesali’s safe return.

This case highlights ongoing concerns about youth safety in Puebla’s nightlife areas and the importance of community vigilance. As the search continues, it also reminds us of the need for inclusive social policies and active state involvement to protect vulnerable populations.
