The victim's body was taken back to Colima, his home state. The news was made public during a mass convened by his loved ones at the parish of Saint John Paul II, where the priest Asahel Ochoa, the victim's cousin, communicated the fact: “The family, through my uncle Ricardo, has asked me to inform you that it is a fact, the body of Edy has been identified.” The case occurs in a region marked by violence. His body was located in the municipality of Coahuayana, Michoacan. Relatives demanded the appearance of Eduardo Ochoa. On Friday, March 20, family and friends called for a demonstration to demand the appearance of Eduardo Ochoa alive. Although initially it was planned to block the Colima-Manzanillo highway, the participants chose not to affect third parties and concentrated at the entrance to the municipal headquarters, where, with tarps and banners, they raised their voices in a peaceful protest marked by uncertainty. On the edge of the beach, they find Eduardo Ochoa dead. A week later, the outcome came in the most painful way. The conditions in which the body was found forced genetic tests to be carried out to confirm his identity. Reports indicated that the victim had a gunshot to the chest, in addition to being tied up and wrapped in plastic along with a hammock. After being transferred to the Forensic Medical Service, the family confirmed that it was Eduardo Ochoa. This fruit, indispensable in the diet of Mexicans, is a booty kidnapped by organized crime, which demands increasingly higher quotas from its producers. The last case was that of Eduardo Ochoa Arias, found dead eight days after presumed sicarios of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) intercepted him by force in Tecomán, Colima. Fear remained to live in the shadow of the banana trees. Inhabitants of Boca de Apiza reported the discovery of a man's body on the shore of the beach. The afternoon of Saturday, March 21, experts and agents from the Michoacan Prosecutor's Office went to the site. Cerro de Ortega, in the municipality of Tecomán — an area near where he was deprived of his liberty — is identified as a point of operation for criminal groups dedicated to kidnapping and extortion, despite the presence of federal forces.
