On October 15th, Ayelin disappeared crossing the same ravine in which she was found four days later, just 500 meters from her home.

That same October 19th, the mayor of Tixtla reported that there was a person arrested for the murder of the minor, and during the session of the Coordination Table for the Construction of Peace, the state governor, Hector Astudillo Flores, demanded results in the investigation of the murder of the minor as well as reinforcing the security and investigation actions of the civil and military bodies, and of the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE),

The funeral procession was led by girls who carried banners with messages such as “Not One Less” or  “Justice, Tixtla is in mourning.”
