Alleged Killer of UNAM Student Arrested in Mexico

José Luis “N,” also known as “El Kakama,” has been arrested by the State of Mexico's Attorney General's Office for allegedly murdering a student from the National Autonomous University of Mexico's (UNAM) FES Cuautitlán campus on April 9, 2026. Investigators served him with an arrest warrant inside a prison, where he is already being processed for feminicide and attempted homicide charges stemming from an incident on March 10 of this year.

The prosecution alleges that the student was on his way home when "El Kakama" intercepted him on a motorcycle and shot him in the town of San Mateo Ixtacalco. After the killing, the suspect allegedly stole the student's belongings and fled on the motorcycle. A judge granted the arrest warrant after the suspect was identified as the likely perpetrator of the qualified homicide.

If found guilty in the FES Cuautitlán student's murder case, "El Kakama" could receive a 70-year prison sentence. His total potential sentence, including the charges of feminicide and attempted homicide from the March incident, could reach up to 116 years and six months.
