Federal authorities confirmed on Monday, June 29, 2026, the arrest of Jovany \u201cN,\u201d known as \u201cLa Mu\u00f1eca,\u201d a suspect linked to the murder of Ximena Guzm\u00e1n and Jos\u00e9 Mu\u00f1oz, collaborators of Mexico City\u2019s Head of Government, Clara Brugada. <\/p>\n
The capture was announced by the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) and took place in Yautepec, Morelos. Jovany \u201cN\u201d was found in possession of a handgun and suspected drugs. He is believed to be part of a criminal cell involved in the attack. <\/p>\n
Pablo V\u00e1zquez, head of Mexico City\u2019s Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC), confirmed that the suspect belongs to an organized group with ongoing operations. Following his arrest, Jovany \u201cN\u201d was handed over to the Public Ministry agent of the Federal Attorney General\u2019s Office (FGR). <\/p>\n
This operation was a coordinated effort involving the SSPC, Mexico City\u2019s Attorney General\u2019s Office (Fiscal\u00eda CDMX), and the SSC. <\/p>\n
The murders of Ximena Guzm\u00e1n Cuevas and Jos\u00e9 Mu\u00f1oz Vega occurred on the morning of May 20, 2025, around 7:15 a.m. on Calzada de Tlalpan in the Benito Ju\u00e1rez borough\u2019s Moderna neighborhood. Ximena was driving and stopped to pick up Jos\u00e9 as part of their daily routine when the attack happened. <\/p>\n
Authorities say the killing was a carefully planned hit by an organized group that conducted surveillance to track the victims\u2019 movements. After the shooting, the alleged hitman fled on a motorcycle and later switched vehicles with other members of the criminal cell to avoid detection. <\/p>\n
Thanks to video surveillance footage, federal and local authorities reconstructed the escape route and identified several suspects involved. <\/p>\n
This case highlights ongoing challenges in Mexico City\u2019s security landscape but also reflects the importance of coordinated law enforcement efforts to bring perpetrators to justice. For residents and migrants alike, it underscores the critical role of public safety initiatives in protecting communities and public servants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
