Zacatecas: Murdered Activist Was Searching for His Missing Son Since 2018

"Morogris" for Borderland Beat

Jose Nicanor Araiza Davila, 51, had been searching for his son for nearly three (3) years.

Missing persons search group activist José Nicanor Araiza Dávila was confirmed dead by his family members earlier this week. Relatives say that he was kidnapped from his home by armed individuals on July 22, in Villa de Cos municipality.

His body was found the following day, but his identity was not confirmed until yesterday. Investigators did not confirm the cause of death nor the conditions in which the body was found.

The victim's son, José Nicanor Araiza Hernández, went missing on September 30, 2018. Soon after, he mounted a massive search and became an activist.

When the activist was kidnapped, the Citizen Council of the Zacatecas State Search Mechanism requested that state and federal authorities "intensify urgent search actions" and work to ensure that he be returned alive.

But he was found dead hours later.

Local sources say that Araiza Davila and his family were deeply involved in various initiatives with groups responsible for searching for disappeared persons.

"This is an extremely serious situation given that the family has participated in the actions to locate [missing people]," members of the search group said in the text addressed to Governor Alejandro Tello; governor-elect David Monreal; the State Attorney General, Francisco Murillo Ruiseco; the Attorney General of the Republic, Alejandro Gertz Manero, and the head of the National Search Commissioner, Karla Quintana.

Neither the Attorney General's Office nor the Local Search Commission have given more details about the activist's death.

"We only know that they found him ... murdered," said a member of the groups of relatives of disappeared people, who requested anonymity.

  1. Sad story. If any of my children went missing I would search for them day and night. This man did what any good father would do for their son. May he rest in peace.

  4. He wasn’t murdered for being an activist he was murdered because his other son was being sought out by the cartel and they didn’t find him so they took his father

    1. cartels TOOK his son dawg. the guy disappeared in 2018, which meant he was taken by cartels or cops (cartel with uniform). the dad's deep involvement with these search groups show you that its likely related to his participation in it... my two cents

    1. Cds usually does this because the families are usually defenseless. They pick on the unarmed consistently.

    7. The general 'comment cartel' are a pretty pathetic bunch. I have asked sincere questions but apparently that is deemed stupid, or actually added something to the story which was pretty interesting/ not lame comment...yet the idiots that see themselves as comment police add nothing. Let people say what they want, ask questions, you are no expert and add nothing to the site. Complete drivelling, incompetent snots. Quite laughable..
      go clean your car out and work on yourself, not criticizing what you deem appropriate comments.

  12. One of my coworkers finished watching Somos on Netflix he had no knowledge of the massacre before seeing the series, he told me the series made it seem like there was no god, to which my other coworker replied there is a god out there. it’s just that when they looked up at the sky he wasn’t there. Same thing here damn it.
