Reporting and context
A judge has ordered Jesús Javier “N” to face criminal proceedings over the fatal shooting of a man inside a Ciudad Obregón dessert shop, according to Tribuna Sonora's report citing Sonora prosecutors.
The defendant is accused of aggravated homicide involving premeditation, treachery and an advantage over the victim. The shooting took place on September 26 at We Love Brownies, on Náinari Street between Yucatán and Campeche in the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood. David Alejandro “N” was shot several times and died at the scene.
Tribuna Sonora reported that investigators reconstructed the arrival of two people in a vehicle parked one block from the shop. Prosecutors allege that Jesús Javier got out, walked to the business and opened fire on the victim, who had no opportunity to defend himself.
The Sonora Attorney General's Office said the attack had been planned and carried out using surprise and a firearm. Prosecutors presented evidence that they said supported the defendant's probable involvement in the killing.
Officers from the Ministerial Criminal Investigation Agency, known as AMIC, executed an arrest warrant against Jesús Javier. He was placed before the judicial authority, which ordered the case to proceed.
