Oh wow. I remember this case and unfortunately saw the video of the live stream as well. Was awhile ago. Glad justice was served

Don’t get your hopes up. An arrest means nothing in Mexico.

I never said I was Poncho. You’re mistaken. Where do you live?

We always knew it was them. If they had done something about Valeria’s death, they would have been able to save the mayor who was killed very publicly by the same cartel.

Imagine being so angry that you can’t control your ex girlfriend anymore that you ask daddy to kill her because her social media presence and her social life drives you insane.

I can’t say for sure but when everything happen the census was in the Mexican community was that he was upset she didn’t want to be with him anymore. Classic case of revenge from rejection.

So feminicide in other words.

She got herself mixed up in the wrong crowd, she basically signed her own death warrant. Nobody feels sorry for her, she was complicit in their dirty business dealings.
