Perla Alison, who vanished last Friday after leaving home to buy candy, was found dead Tuesday in an abandoned lot near the Constitución de 1917 metro station. The discovery ended a four-day citywide search that drew national attention.
Her body showed signs of violence, prompting authorities to launch a femicide investigation. An autopsy is pending, and officials are reviewing surveillance footage and questioning locals.
Perla’s death has sparked outrage across Mexico, highlighting growing concerns over gender-based violence. Neighbors and activists are demanding justice, while mourners leave flowers and candles outside her home.
Police urge anyone with information to come forward.
