Detention in Juxtlahuaca

Rufino González was arrested by the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Oaxaca (FGEO) as a probable person responsible for the feminicide of Delsi A., which occurred in the community of Nican de la Soledad, municipality of Santiago Juxtlahuaca, in the Mixteca region.

The events occurred on July 11, 2026. According to the investigation, after an argument, González attacked his partner with a firearm, causing a head injury. Delsi lost his life due to severe head trauma caused by a projectile.

“After receiving the complaint, the Oaxaca Prosecutor’s Office began the corresponding investigations, collecting interviews, expert opinions and other evidence that made it possible to establish the probable responsibility of the accused and obtain the arrest warrant,” reported the FGEO.

After the crime, Rufino González stated that Delsi had taken his own life. However, the family called for a thorough investigation. “We want justice for Delsi,” “that they investigate well because his family knew about the facts,” have been some of the demands from family members and community authorities. The victim was a mother of two minors, originally from San Miguel Cuevas.

Rufino González was arrested this weekend by elements of the State Investigation Agency and placed at the disposal of the Public Ministry.

Violence figures

So far this year, 47 women have been violently deprived of their lives in Oaxaca, according to monitoring by the Documentation Center of the “Rosario Castellanos” Women’s Studies Group (GESMujer). In more than 50% of cases, the crime was committed with a firearm.

Governor Manolo Jiménez announced that in the coming weeks he will present an initiative to create a prosecutor’s office specialized in crimes against sentient beings. The proposal involves a restructuring of the attorney general’s office to strengthen the institutional response to animal abuse.

Recent cases that drive the measure

In Saltillo, the dog Rocky was dragged through several streets tied to a truck. Its owner, Liliana “N”, was linked to the process. Days later, the Environmental Police rescued another dog that had been buried alive and chained, although the animal died on Sunday night. The state prosecutor’s office is investigating this case to determine responsibilities.

In Torreón, the first administrative fine for animal abuse was applied to a dog in poor health conditions and infested with ticks.

Details of the proposal

According to the Executive, having a specialized body will allow for timely and effective follow-up of these crimes. Jiménez stressed that in Coahuila no one is above the law. The prosecution will focus on investigating, prosecuting and punishing mistreatment of sentient beings, with penalties that can reach up to eight years in prison. The objective is to guarantee animal protection and avoid impunity.

Machete attack in Ahome

In the community of Agua Nueva, municipality of Ahome, a 27-year-old young man suffered a twelve-centimeter wound to the skull after being attacked with a machete. The victim, identified as Víctor Arturo “N”, was admitted to a hospital in Los Mochis.

The events occurred after the attacked person went for a walk with a friend. When he returned her to her home, a relative of the young woman—according to testimonies—pulled out a machete and hit him on the head. Neighbors helped the injured man and took him to the hospital.

The State Attorney General’s Office was notified of this new attack with a knife. In Sinaloa, the use of machetes outside of agricultural hours and areas is prohibited.

Similar background

On June 8, on the beaches of Las Salinas (Higueras de Zaragoza district, Ahome), a minor suffered a similar attack. According to the report, two young men on a motorcycle attacked him with machetes while he was enjoying the beach. Fishermen in the area intervened and prevented major injuries. The minor was transferred to an IMSS hospital in Los Mochis.

The authorities continue to investigate both cases, with no arrests reported so far.
