In a tragic incident that took place on November 17, 2024, Verenice was hit by police officer Adrián Lorenzo Quiroz when he ran a stop sign without intending to avoid the impact. Although witnesses managed to stop the aggressor, Verenice suffered severe injuries that ultimately led to her death on December 26 of that same year.
The expert report revealed shocking details, such as the fact that the police officer had enough time and space to avoid hitting Verenice and even confessed to having seen her before the accident. The injuries suffered by the victim were severe, including fractures, trauma, and the loss of a lung due to the impact of the accident.
The legal process against the aggressor was fraught with omissions and questionable decisions, such as the lack of a toxicology test and the classification of the case as injuries from a traffic accident instead of attempted homicide. Additionally, the actions of the judicial authorities, especially judges Hortensia Fátima Legarreta and Flor de María Muñoz-Cano, who granted inadequate measures during the process, were concerning.
The lack of justice in Verenice's case has generated outrage and calls for an appropriate resolution from the competent authorities. The victim's family cries out for fair punishment for the responsible party and for a legal system that addresses crimes against women with a gender perspective and true justice.
