NEWS UPDATE:
A nationwide Amber Alert ended in tragedy after authorities in Mexico City confirmed the death of minor Perla Alison, who had been missing after leaving her home in the Santa Martha Acatitla neighborhood to visit a nearby store. According to relatives, the girl asked permission to buy candy and never returned, triggering an urgent search by officials and community volunteers.
The case took a devastating turn when a neighbor reported a strong odor coming from an abandoned structure near the Constitución de 1917 metro station. Officers from the Secretariat of Citizen Security secured the scene, and forensic teams from the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office later recovered a body believed to be the missing minor.
Prosecutors stated the victim showed signs of violence and confirmed that a femicide investigation has been opened. Authorities indicated there are preliminary concerns the child may have suffered abuse prior to her death, though officials emphasized that autopsy results will determine the exact cause.
The case has generated widespread public outrage, particularly across social media, where the search for Perla Alison had drawn national attention. Feminist organizations and civil groups are calling for swift justice and the maximum penalty for whoever is found responsible.
