The fact caused great outrage in the town of Morelia. On Saturday a demonstration was held in front of the fountain of Las Tarascas towards the Government Palace to demand justice for the young woman. The march was divided into five contingents, with the victim’s relatives at the head.
A few days ago, the State Prosecutor’s Office obtained the apprehension order against Diego Urik “N” after presenting the data ttesting to her likely responsibility for Jessica’s femicide.
The unit also offered a million peso reward for anyone offering data to help its location and requested a Red Card from Interpol on the possibility that it had left the country.
