According to a news release from the Chihuahua Attorney General’s Office on Saturday, March 14, Juárez police officers, state investigators, and members of the Mexican army went door-to-door over the weekend, searching for potential witnesses, video, or any other relevant information related to the child homicide case in the area known as “Los Kilómetros.”
The small boy’s lifeless body was discovered by a garbage scavenger on Tuesday night, March 10, off the Juárez-to-Casas Grandes highway near Segunda Street in Colonia Kilómetro 27, according to the state attorney general’s office and local news reports.
