Several dozen people gathered in the State of Mexico to demand justice for Hugo Carbajal, a 15-year-old boy who died last Saturday in a function room. Family members and friends blocked a major roadway, the Periférico, using banners and slogans to call for accountability and protection for other youths in their community.
The incident occurred while the young person was at a private gathering in the municipality of Naucalpan de Juárez. A violent clash broke out among attendees. Local reports indicate the underage boy approached a security guard on duty, a 38-year-old man identified locally as Mauricio N. The guard allegedly used a glass bottle during the altercation, and authorities have not confirmed arrests in connection with the fatal outcome. Eyewitness accounts suggest the boy defended himself and a glass bottle was employed during the struggle, followed by a fatal neck injury. Investigators are reviewing the sequence of events to determine responsibility and to understand every detail of the confrontation.
The Edomex Attorney General’s Office, FGJEM, has opened a formal inquiry into a potential case of voluntary manslaughter. Since the incident, discourse on social networks has intensified, with many users pressing for swift and transparent action from authorities. Posts circulated about the location of the incident and the ongoing search for the person considered responsible by state officials. Accounts from residents on nearby streets described blood-stained images connected to the event, and a local voice described the violent wound that led to severe bleeding and hospital complications as part of the ongoing narrative. FGJEM and city authorities have pledged to pursue all legal avenues, gather testimonies, and review surveillance to establish a clear timeline and determine the appropriate charges if warranted.
