Two men charged in death of State of Mexico police investigator

Two men, identified as Jorge Luis “N” and Julián Oliver “N”, are facing charges for the death of State of Mexico (Edomex) police investigator Víctor Manuel Lugo. Lugo was killed on June 11 while carrying out an investigation in the Hacienda del Parque neighborhood.

According to the State Attorney General's Office (FGJEM), Lugo was responding to a femicide investigation when he was attacked with a firearm by a suspect accompanied by the two now-detained men. Lugo, acting in self-defense and to protect his colleagues, used his service weapon to repel the attack and fatally shot the initial assailant.

Other officers present at the scene apprehended Jorge Luis “N” and Julián Oliver “N”. The FGJEM secured an arrest warrant for their alleged involvement in the homicide. They have been placed in preventive detention at the Cuautitlán penitentiary and face up to 70 years in prison if found guilty of homicide and attempted homicide against public servants.

The FGJEM honored Lugo for his bravery and dedication, stating his actions prevented further harm to civilians and colleagues. The agency emphasized that his sacrifice serves as an example and offered condolences to his family.

The Fiscalía Edoméx recognizes the value and dedication of V.M.L.S, who died in the line of duty and who, with his action, prevented more civilians or colleagues from being injured, for which members of this Institution paid tribute to him and accompanied his family during the funeral rites. His dedication will always be an example for us.
