Less than 24 hours after confirming the feminicide of UAEM student Kimberly Joselín Ramos Beltrán, the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos reported the disappearance of another student, Karol Toledo Gómez, from the Escuela de Estudios Superiores de Mazatepec since March 2. The university demands urgent action from authorities.
Karol Toledo Gómez, a student at UAEM's Escuela de Estudios Superiores de Mazatepec, was reported missing since March 2 in that municipality. The Fiscalía General de Justicia del Estado de Morelos issued a search alert. UAEM rector Viridiana Aidé León Hernández expressed solidarity with the family and offered collaboration in the investigation, urging immediate coordinated efforts.
This incident follows the feminicide of 18-year-old Kimberly Joselín Ramos Beltrán, reported missing February 20, whose body was found March 2 near UAEM's northern campus in Cuernavaca (covered in prior reporting). Updates include a detainee, UAEM student Jared Alejandro “N” (the victim's ex-boyfriend), confirmed by President Claudia Sheinbaum on March 4; preventive prison was imposed for disappearance. Prosecutor Fernando Blumenkron affirmed a gender-perspective investigation.
UAEM responded to the feminicide with security enhancements: reinforced surveillance, gender training, better lighting, and alert buttons. The university is under 'red code' status, suspending in-person activities. Protests escalated post-body discovery, including tributes, rector's office occupation, and graffiti on March 3-4, demanding investigation transparency and lasting safety measures against gender violence.
