An Ecuadorian citizen identified as César Salazar Abudeye was detained in Mexico City (CDMX) after pushing another man down the stairs of Plaza Soledad, located in the Cuauhtémoc borough. Following a fight between the two, the victim, of Mexican origin, fell down the stairs and lost his life as a result of the incident.
The Citizen Security Secretariat (SSC) of CDMX received a report via radio frequency about an injured person in the shopping plaza, located in the Centro neighborhood. Upon arrival at the scene, the aggressor was found attempting to move the injured person, who subsequently fled upon noticing the police presence and ascended the stairs. The SSC personnel secured the area and arrested the 39-year-old Ecuadorian citizen, who was informed of his rights and presented to the Public Prosecutor's Office.
Once detained, the appropriate legal procedures were carried out. The victim was diagnosed as deceased due to blunt force trauma, and the area was cordoned off for the presence of forensic experts. The aggressor attempted to take refuge in a nearby establishment, where blood stains were identified, triggering a pursuit that ended with his arrest.
In the words of journalist Carlos Jiménez, the Ecuadorian was accused of murdering the Mexican man in Plaza Soledad in the Cuauhtémoc borough. The Prosecutor's Office will be responsible for defining the legal situation of the detained individual and conducting the relevant investigations to clarify the events.
