Lawyer Erendali Trujillo, representative of María José's family, reported that neither she nor the victim's relatives were officially notified by the prosecutor's office about the death of Miguel "N", the alleged serial killer, which occurred in the eastern men's prison. Trujillo recounted that the alleged assailant called María José's sister from prison to mock her and claim that he did not regret his actions. In light of this situation, Trujillo demanded an explanation from the prison authorities.
Tatiana Calles, María José's aunt, lamented the lack of justice following Miguel "N"'s death in prison, stating that the State owed a debt to the victims due to the absence of a judicial resolution. Calles expressed that the alleged femicide died without a sentence being issued, leaving families in a state of uncertainty. Furthermore, she criticized that Miguel "N"'s body was not properly preserved to assure the victims about the circumstances of his death.
María José's family initiated a petition on change.org proposing that professional licenses be revoked from people convicted of serious crimes. According to the family, Miguel "N" was a pharmacist biochemist and had used his technical knowledge to commit the crimes he was accused of. The lawyer for the case indicated that the legal process was at an intermediate stage and nearing trial before the accused's death.
Erendali Trujillo criticized the lack of official information from the authorities regarding the cause of Miguel "N"'s death. The family learned about it through the media, leading to confusion due to different versions of the circumstances of his passing. Trujillo also reported that the Attorney General excluded Cassandra, María José's mother, from the invitation to inform the families of Miguel "N"'s victims about his death, which she considered an omission of their legal obligations and fundamental rights.
