Third Suspect, a Minor, Detained in ‘La Diabla’ Femicide Case in Ciudad Juárez
Ciudad Juárez, January 27, 2026 – A 17-year-old teenager has been brought before a specialized judge for minors for her alleged participation in the femicide of Leslie G. C. The victim’s body was found clandestinely buried in the patio of a home in the Portal del Roble neighborhood of Ciudad Juárez on July 25, 2025.
According to information provided by the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE), the minor, identified only by the initials A. A. A., is facing criminal proceedings for her probable involvement in the events. The case has garnered widespread media attention due to the severity of the crime and the circumstances surrounding the victim’s discovery.
Three Individuals Facing Charges in High-Profile Femicide
The State Attorney General, César Gustavo Jáuregui Moreno, confirmed that three individuals are currently facing legal proceedings in connection with this femicide. In addition to the teenager presented before the juvenile judge, Jhoselin T. F. and Martha Alicia M. A., also known as “La Diabla,” have been indicted.
Prosecutor Dismisses False Versions of the Case
During statements to the media, the Attorney General noted that while the case has had a significant social impact, some circulating versions do not align with the reality of the investigation.
“The ‘La Diabla’ case is highly publicized, but it has generated narratives that do not correspond to reality, such as allegations of alleged child trafficking, which is not true,” said Jáuregui Moreno.
He added that, although the crime is of extreme gravity and features particularly violent characteristics, it does not present an unusual criminal structure.
The prosecutor emphasized that investigations are ongoing and that authorities have acted based on solid evidentiary data, respecting due process and the rights of the accused individuals, including the presumption of innocence, at all times.
