Cancún, Quintana Roo — An oral trial court has sentenced three people to 37 years and six months in prison for the femicide of a woman in Cancún in May 2024.

The court found Ángel Abad Adame, Felipe González Magaña and Suri Ivett Rodríguez Juárez guilty, the Quintana Roo State Prosecutor’s Office said. The victim’s identity has been withheld.

Vehicle Dispute Turned Deadly

According to the investigation, the attack occurred on May 13, 2024, at a home in the Paseos del Mar housing complex. Rodríguez Juárez had phoned the victim and asked her to come to the house, saying they could resolve personal differences.

When the victim arrived, González Magaña demanded the return of a vehicle. After she said she no longer had it, all three attacked her and inflicted multiple injuries, prosecutors said.
