Quintana Roo Prosecutor Links Suspects in Homicide, Drug Cases

Suspect Linked to Process for October Homicide

The Quintana Roo State Prosecutor’s Office (FGE) reported that it obtained the linking to process of Guillermo “N”, alias “El Grande”, for his probable participation in the crime of qualified homicide, committed on October 28 of this year in the municipality of Cozumel. The information was released through statement 228/2025-FDC, issued on December 16, 2025 at 07:35 hours.

According to the investigation file, the events occurred when the victim, a man whose identity remains reserved, was aboard a vehicle with his partner. At that moment, the accused Guillermo “N” arrived at the location, approached the driver’s window, and allegedly fired a gun at him, causing head injuries that resulted in his death.

After receiving the report, the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Homicide Crimes initiated the corresponding inquiries and gathered the necessary evidence to request an arrest warrant from the judicial authority. This warrant was granted and subsequently executed by elements of the Investigation Police.

Once the case file was judicialized, the Control Judge determined to link Guillermo “N” to process for the crime of qualified homicide, also imposing the precautionary measure of mandatory pre-trial detention, so he will remain deprived of liberty during the development of the criminal process.
