Brenda Jazmín, a member of the Guerreras Buscadoras de Cajeme collective who had been searching for her brother since 2018, was found dead in a motel in Ciudad Obregón, the Sonora Prosecutor’s Office said.
The institution ruled out that the motive of femicide is related to search actions carried out by collectives.
He indicated that, according to the autopsy, the cause of death of the 37-year-old woman was asphyxiation.
“The main line of investigation is based on the personal environment,” the prosecutor’s office said.

Brenda Jazmín’s brother, Luis Heraldo Beltrán Jaime, disappeared in Bacum, Sonora, in November 2018.
A year ago Brenda said – in an interview for the media Tribuna – that she had a job, but that for her mother and niece she continued in the search for her brother.
“We do not lose faith in finding him, we are aware that since we can find him alive, the most likely thing is that he will not, but it will be a peace to know where he is,” he said.
