Arrest of the policeman
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the arrest of the policeman allegedly involved in the death of actor Octavio Ocaña, occurred in an operation on the Querétaro-Mexico highway, Cuamatla Industrial neighborhood, in the municipality of Cuautitlán Izcalli.
The authorities stress that the detainee should be considered innocent until a conviction is handed down against him.

In November, the Prosecutor’s Office had concluded that Octavio Ocaña, the 22-year-old actor, shot himself as a result of the impact of the vehicle he was driving, allegedly fleeing from the police of Cuautitlán Izcalli.
After this opinion, the body announced that it will hold meetings to analyze the evidence of his death.
In an interview with Reforma, the actor’s father, Octavio Pérez, said he would file a lawsuit against the Edomex Prosecutor’s Office, for irregularities in the investigation of his son’s death.
Before the same media, the father said that there was negligence on the part of the authorities to give first aid to Ocaña and that his companions were tortured to sign the statements published by the Prosecutor’s Office.
