  • A woman, identified as Melissa "N," faces charges including attempted qualified homicide and aggravated robbery.
  • Two men were allegedly intoxicated and robbed at a hotel, with one victim later dying.
  • Authorities used surveillance footage and witness identification to link Melissa to the crime.

A woman identified as Melissa "N" has been formally charged in connection with a hotel incident where two men were allegedly intoxicated and robbed, leading to the death of one victim. The charges against her include attempted qualified homicide, qualified homicide, and aggravated robbery.

The incident occurred on March 7, when the two male victims left an establishment with Melissa and two other women. They proceeded to a hotel in the Atlampa neighborhood, where the victims were allegedly drugged until they lost consciousness. Following the drugging, the perpetrators reportedly stole from the victims.

Investigators reconstructed the suspects' movements after the crime by analyzing public and private surveillance camera footage, aided by the Mexico City C5 system. The surviving victim identified Melissa as one of the women involved in the robbery. Previously, police had arrested Melanie "N" and Kevin "N" on June 29 in Tezoyuca, State of Mexico, and they were subsequently charged on July 6.

Melissa "N" was apprehended on August 20 in Nezahualcรณyotl, State of Mexico, following the issuance of an arrest warrant. On August 26, a judge found sufficient evidence to link her to the case, imposing pre-trial detention and setting a two-month period for the complementary investigation.
