Former municipal police officer charged with beating a man to death in Michoacán
A former municipal police officer in Michoacán is facing charges of qualified homicide for allegedly beating a man to death while in police custody.
In Michoacán, a former municipal police officer named Jordán 'N' has been formally charged with homicide after reportedly assaulting Santiago T. during his detention on November 26, 2025. The incident occurred at the Municipal Police station, where Santiago was being processed and required medical certification before being placed in custody.
According to the investigative documentation, upon arrival at the police station, Jordán 'N' allegedly struck Santiago T. multiple times before he was placed in a detention area. The physical assault resulted in severe injuries to Santiago, ultimately leading to his death shortly after the altercation. This has raised concerns regarding police conduct and the treatment of detainees in custody.
The case highlights ongoing issues surrounding police accountability and human rights in Mexico, where instances of police violence have prompted public outcry and demands for reform. The charging of Jordán 'N' marks a significant step in addressing these issues, but the incident underscores the need for improved oversight and protection of individuals within the justice system.
