Cancun, Quintana Roo — Three men have been formally charged with aggravated homicide in the death of a teenager in Cancun, the State Prosecutor’s Office announced.
Ian Oliver “N,” José “N,” and Roger Saúl “N” were ordered held in pretrial detention for up to two years or the duration of the judicial process, a judge ruled after reviewing evidence presented by prosecutors.
According to the investigation, on January 6, 2025, the suspects allegedly lured the minor to the irregular settlement known as Terrenos. They then took him to a remote dirt road, where they beat him and killed him by asphyxiation.

With these arrests, a total of five people have been linked to the killing, which shocked the city. The investigation continues.
