Ciudad Juarez, January 20, 2026 – Authorities have apprehended the alleged perpetrator of a femicide in the Felipe Ángeles neighborhood of Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. The suspect, identified as Tito “N”, 57, was arrested in connection with the death of his 51-year-old ex-wife.
Details of the Incident and Arrest
According to official reports, the victim was discovered deceased at the intersection of Caballos and Asnos streets following an attack that occurred on Monday afternoon. Following the report, an extensive search operation was launched to locate the alleged assailant, who was identified as the woman’s former spouse.
Initial statements from the detained individual indicate that he had been in a marital relationship with the victim for 11 years.

The suspect was eventually located at the intersection of Rafael Velarde and Pinotepa streets. A pursuit ensued, culminating on Omitlán Street, where Tito “N” was successfully apprehended without any injuries reported during the operation.
Following his arrest, the man was handed over to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Attention to Women Victims of Crime Due to Gender and Family Reasons. This body will be responsible for compiling the relevant investigation file and determining his legal status.
Call for Citizen Support and Awareness
Authorities have urged citizens to report any instances of violence and emphasized the availability of support services and helplines designed to provide assistance and protection to women at risk. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding gender-based violence in the region.
This arrest comes amidst a broader context of security challenges in Chihuahua, as indicated by other recent reports including an attack on a home in Ciudad Juarez resulting in two deaths and one injury, and previous incidents of violence against women in the city.
The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected as the legal process unfolds.
