Osmar ‘N’, a 15-year-old teenager, is the alleged perpetrator of the murder of two teachers at Antón Makárenko high school in Michoacán. Authorities confirm a direct attack with an AR-15 rifle hidden in a guitar case, per security videos. If found guilty, he would face permanent internment from six months to five years, under Michoacán's Specialized Code of Justice for Adolescents.
Michoacán's Attorney General, Carlos Torres Piña, stated that Osmar ‘N’ carried out a direct attack on teachers María del Rosario, 36, and Tatiana, 37, at the main entrance of Antón Makárenko high school. Security camera videos show the 15-year-old arriving with a guitar case hiding the AR-15 rifle and shooting the teaching staff without entering a classroom. One person present managed to take cover, but the teachers died at the scene. After the attack, Osmar ‘N’ was subdued by people inside the school and placed at the disposal of the Public Ministry to determine his legal status. The Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) has no record of the weapon, which was obtained illegally, possibly from the black market or trafficking from the United States. The mother's partner works for a federal corporation in Lázaro Cárdenas, and authorities plan to question the parents and this individual. President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed regret during her March 25 conference: “Es un caso muy doloroso en muchos sentidos por la muerte de las maestras a manos de este jovencito con un arma larga”. Michoacán's Specialized Code of Justice for Adolescents provides for permanent internment for those aged 14 to 16 in serious cases like homicide, with duration related to the harm caused, no less than six months nor more than five years. A Specialized Adolescent Hearing Judge would declare guilt and order an Individualized Execution Program in an internment center.
