The Mexico City Attorney General's Office detained Gaby 'N' in the municipality of Heroica Ciudad de Ejutla de Crespo, Oaxaca, for her alleged responsibility in the qualified homicide of a motorcyclist on January 3 in Iztapalapa borough. The woman, who fled after the incident, was located through video recordings, interviews, and technical follow-up efforts. She was later transferred to the Santa Martha Acatitla Women's Social Reintegration Center.
On January 3, at the intersection of Eje 6 Sur and Periférico Oriente in Mexico City's Iztapalapa borough, Gaby 'N' was driving a navy blue Honda City vehicle when she struck Roberto Hernández, a 52-year-old motorcyclist who worked as a dairy products delivery man and was heading to meet his wife. The impact dragged the victim's body for over a kilometer to the Constitución de 1917 neighborhood, where paramedics confirmed his death. Gaby 'N' continued driving, abandoned the license-plate-less car in Nezahualcóyotl, Mexico State, and fled; the vehicle was located on January 5 with visible frontal damage.
The Mexico City Attorney General's Office (FGJ) opened an investigation file for qualified homicide and issued an arrest warrant on January 7. Late in January, agents conducted a search at a home in Chimalhuacán, Mexico State, linked to a relative of the suspect, but she was not found. Reports indicate that Gaby 'N''s cousin contacted authorities and lured her to a chapel in Heroica Ciudad de Ejutla de Crespo, Oaxaca, where she had fled, possibly due to prior family connections in the area.
The detention took place on the night of February 9, in coordination with the Oaxaca State Attorney General's Office. Elements such as analysis of video recordings, interviews, expert mechanical reports, and fact reconstruction enabled her identification. On February 10, Gaby 'N' was transferred to Mexico City and admitted to the Santa Martha Acatitla Women's Social Reintegration Center, where her legal situation will be determined. She could face up to 20 years in prison for the crime. The victim's family demanded justice at the FGJ, and the case sparked outrage on social media due to videos of the incident.
