Tláhuac Secondary Case: This is how Diego Kevin was arrested, the teenager who stabbed Yeremi; they wanted to lynch him
The case of a 15-year-old stabbed by a peer outside a Tláhuac secondary school has drawn significant public attention and debate over mob justice.
The case involving Yeremi, a 15-year-old who was stabbed by another adolescent outside the ‘Alfonso Caso Andrade’ Secondary School in Tláhuac, has garnered considerable public interest as more details emerge regarding the incidents of that day. New visuals shared by journalist Carlos Jiménez show the chaotic scene following the stabbing, revealing how Diego Kevin, the 14-year-old arrested for seriously wounding Yeremi, was attacked by angry adults before being taken into custody by the Mexican City's Citizen Security Secretariat (SSC).
Reports indicate that parents, students, and local authorities quickly responded upon realizing Yeremi had been stabbed, and moments later, SSC agents arrived at the scene on Guillermo Prieto street. The footage illustrates the tension surrounding the event, highlighting the immediate reaction of the crowd, and the subsequent attempts to deliver street justice against Diego Kevin, which complicates the already distressing situation for all involved.
This incident not only raises questions about youth violence and conflicts among adolescents in Mexico but also sheds light on community responses to crime and the concept of mob justice, illustrating the urgent need for interventions that address these social issues while ensuring the safety of young individuals even in moments of outrage and grief.
