According to the first inquiries, it was through the 911 emergency number that operators received the alert from a neighbor in the area, who pointed out that a woman was screaming for help due to the attacks she suffered from three people.
It was at the intersection of Alfonso Alarcón and Urbano Espinoza streets that after being stabbed, Maricela Valle Rivera fainted and her body lay on the pavement.
The woman presented several stab wounds to her face and chest, an attack that was even recorded on the security cameras of a nearby home.
Witnesses to the events told police officers that after perpetrating the attack against this approximately 45-year-old woman, the aggressors fled towards the Cerro del Peñón de los Baños.
After reviewing her belongings, expert services personnel from the capital prosecutor’s office managed to find Maricela’s identity through a credential from the company Aquaseo SA de CV, dedicated to cleaning services for public and private buildings.
The Mexico City Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation folder with a femicide protocol. Meanwhile, from the C5 cameras, authorities are already looking for those likely responsible for this attack.
