Carlos Loreto Case: Two More Arrested for the Murder of the Music Entrepreneur at His Home in El Pedregal

Authorities have arrested two additional suspects in the murder case of Carlos Ulises Loreto, a music entrepreneur, over a year after the crime took place in Mexico City.

Mexican authorities have made further arrests in the ongoing investigation into the murder of Carlos Ulises Loreto, the owner of Northern Organized Recordz, after more than a year since the crime occurred. The Secretary of Citizen Security, Pablo Vázquez, announced the capture of two suspects, Ramón 'N' and Antonio 'N', who had been evading capture in the municipalities of Naucalpan and Ixtapaluca, both located in the State of Mexico. These arrests follow previous detentions of two other individuals, Francisco 'N' and Brayan 'N', who have been incarcerated since the day of the attack, reflecting the complex nature of this criminal case.

The incident took place on January 27, 2025, when Loreto was fatally shot during a robbery at his residence in the Jardines del Pedregal neighborhood of Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City. Local authorities have not disclosed whether these four individuals represent all the suspects involved in the murder, raising concerns about the motives and broader implications of such violent acts in the region. The charges against the suspects include qualified homicide and aggravated robbery, indicating the serious nature of the crimes.

This case has garnered significant public attention not only due to the tragic loss of a well-known figure in the Mexican music industry but also because it underscores the ongoing issue of violence and crime in Mexico City, particularly in affluent neighborhoods. As the investigation continues, the Mexican government is under pressure to address issues related to public safety and the efficacy of law enforcement in dealing with such violent crimes, reflecting wider societal concerns about security in the country.
