News Official statement Outcome reported
  • A 15-year-old identified as Osmar "N" received a three-year prison sentence for murdering two teachers.
  • The sentencing occurred under a simplified procedure authorized by the Michoacán Prosecutor's Office.
  • The court also ordered restitution of over 3.2 million pesos to the victims' families.

A juvenile court has sentenced a 15-year-old boy, identified as Osmar "N," to three years in prison for the double femicide of two teachers at a private high school in Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán. The sentence was handed down following a simplified procedure approved by the Michoacán Prosecutor's Office. The court also mandated that Osmar "N" pay over 3.2 million pesos in damages to the victims' families.

The killings took place on March 24 at the Antón Makárenko Preparatory School. Osmar "N" entered the campus with an AR-15 assault rifle, concealed in a guitar case, and fatally shot María del Rosario, 36, and Tatiana, 37. Following the attack, fellow students and a staff member disarmed and restrained the teenager before handing him over to authorities.

Investigations, including analysis of videos Osmar "N" posted on social media prior to the attack, suggest he was influenced by misogynistic online communities known as Incel (involuntary celibates). Despite the high-caliber weapon used, authorities have been unable to determine its origin or locate the student's cell phone.

A certified judge in integral justice for adolescents handed down a conviction of 3 years in prison to Osmar “N”, the 15-year-old adolescent who murdered two of his teachers.
