Cancun, Q.R. — A suspect in the brutal beating and suffocation of a Cancun man has been charged with aggravated homicide. On Saturday, the State Attorney General (FGE) reported on the official charges laid against Johan Ricardo “N”.
According to their statement, “Johan Ricardo “N”, alias “El Ruso”, remains under investigation for events that occurred on December 28, 2024, the date on which, together with Víctor Ulises “N” and Arath Armando “N”, they went to a property in the Avante neighborhood of Cancun where the victim was located.
“Upon arriving at the scene, the three individuals repeatedly beat the victim then suffocated him, killing him. They then wrapped the body in sheets and abandoned it in a cenote.”
Investigations by police officers assigned to the FGE indicate that the motive for the murder was related to drug dealing. “Those involved are part of a violent criminal group dedicated to drug dealing,” they said.
A judge has ordered Johan Ricardo “N” to remain in custody for the duration of his trial.
In their statement, police added Víctor Ulises “N” and Arath Armando “N”, who have arrest warrants related to this murder, are also currently facing charges for another Cancun murder.
“Víctor Ulises “N” and Arath Armando “N” are currently facing charges of homicide against a minor which occurred in the Valle Verde neighborhood, where they went with the intention of killing a subject who then used the victim as a human shield.”
