Three men accused of attempted femicide in Yucatán, Mexico, have been ordered to stand trial and will remain in custody. Ibrahim Amad "N," Héctor Miguel "N," and Francisco Javier "N" were arrested after being fugitives and now face charges for an incident that occurred on May 28.

The prosecution presented testimonial, documentary, and expert evidence during a hearing, convincing the judicial authority to link the accused to the process. The court has set a six-month period for the complementary investigation to conclude.

The incident involved a woman being shot and wounded in the Las Américas neighborhood, located north of Mérida. Following the attack, protocols were activated, leading to the apprehension of the three defendants.

The court has ratified the precautionary measure of justified preventive detention, meaning the accused will be held without bail for the duration of their trial. This decision underscores the seriousness of the charges and the ongoing legal proceedings.
