The individuals linked to this tragic event have been identified as José Antonio Martínez Joseph, known as Martínez, and Juan Gabriel Marte Ramírez, nicknamed el Diamante. The request for a coercive measure was filed with the Judicial Office of Permanent Attention Services of the National District, seeking to ensure the presence of the defendants during the course of the investigations.
