FGE arrests suspect in Tijuana disappearance case
Baja California’s state attorney general’s office says it arrested Isaías Ismael “N” in a Tijuana case involving alleged aggravated disappearance and qualified homicide; the supplied FGE image blurs his face.
Jornada Baja California reports that Baja California’s State Attorney General’s Office arrested Isaías Ismael “N” in Tijuana on allegations of aggravated disappearance committed by private individuals and qualified homicide. The agency said the arrest order was executed on Aug. 31, 2026, on García Boulevard in the Las Delicias II subdivision by agents from the State Investigation Agency. The official account identifies the detained man as a suspect; it does not establish guilt.
According to the evidence described by the Fiscalía General del Estado, Jonathan “N” left his home in the Aguaje de la Tuna neighborhood on April 20 at about 4:30 p.m. Around 6 p.m., he was with his partner in an Acura near Third Street, between Negrete and Madero streets, in central Tijuana. Investigators allege that a man known as “El Bélico,” accompanied by another individual, confronted Jonathan over the vehicle and took him to an alley and then to a residence, where he was threatened with firearms.
Jornada Baja California said “El Bélico” later removed Jonathan’s partner from the residence so the person would not witness what happened inside. The state agency said its arrest resulted from investigation, surveillance and information-gathering work in the field and at headquarters. The source does not provide a reported location or outcome for Jonathan, and the supplied FGE image blurs the detainee’s face.
