January 5, 2024 marked one year since the murder of 15 year old Nicol Suarez Ruiz in the Paso de Los Agaves subdivision in Tlajomulco de Zuñiga, her mother and friends are crying out for justice because the alleged assailant has still not been located.

Mrs. Anahí Ruiz, Nicol's mother, has not only suffered for living without her during this time, but also because after a year the investigations of the Jalisco Prosecutor's Office show no progress despite the fact that she has presented them with all kinds of evidence.

"None, the murderer filed five protective warrants which were all denied and in the last one he was told that he was not entitled to any more amparo for having committed femicide to a minor, I have here in my possession the whole file that they made me buy in the prosecutor's office where it tells me exactly everything that happened, I have everything here and it is up to the moment that the prosecutor's office tells me they know nothing about him", said Anahi Ruiz, mother of the murdered minor.

Nicol's mother assures that she has all the evidence to prove that the accused is the murderer of her daughter, she regrets that with all the elements presented plus an arrest warrant, they have not found the whereabouts of the aggressor even though she has indicated to the authorities where he is located.

"They should do their job because I already told them where he is, he is hiding in Puerto Vallarta with his family and even so they have not wanted to do anything, they were sent the exact location of where he is, and even so they do not want to proceed, I went to a foundation called Voces de la Ausencia, they are collaborating with me and they told me exactly where he was and the day of his arrest the Guadalajara prosecutor's office informed him and he escaped", said Anahi Ruiz, mother of the murdered minor.

No progress in the investigation

Mrs. Anahi claims to have a message on her cell phone where the alleged murderer of her daughter tells her that he has given money to the prosecutor's office so that they do not find him, this seems reasonable for the way the investigation has been handled but not fair because it has already been a year and the case of her daughter shows no progress or arrests.

"I have the statements where he tells me that he paid 300,000 pesos to the prosecutor's office so that they would no longer look for him, he sent me messages where he said he hoped I had the courage to tell him straight out that he was the one who killed my daughter because the day he wants he can come looking for me with armed people and I don't even know what he is capable of doing, I receive threats from him but I tell the authorities, I am not afraid to die for my daughter or raise my voice for her," said Anahi Ruiz, mother of the murdered minor.

A group of women, friends and relatives of Nicol went out to demonstrate at the place where the minor lost her life, they assured that next Monday morning they will hold a blockade on the highway to Chalapa at the height of the Los Agaves subdivision to demand to the Prosecutor's Office that her case does not become one more feminicide in Jalisco.
