Former UAEMex student found dead in Toluca after several days of being missing; family had been searching for her
Jarim Virginia Roldán Teja, a 25-year-old former student of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, was found dead in her home in Toluca after her family reported her missing.
Jarim Virginia Roldán Teja, a 25-year-old former psychology student at the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMex), was discovered dead in her apartment in Toluca, the capital of the State of Mexico, after her family lost contact with her for several days. The General Prosecutor's Office of the State of Mexico confirmed that she had withdrawn from the university approximately six months before her body was found. Her apartment is located on Porfirio Díaz Street, just a few minutes from downtown Toluca.
Family members became concerned about Jarim's well-being when they had not heard from her and decided to visit her home to check on her. Upon arrival, they tragically found her lifeless. This incident has raised alarms in the community, drawing attention to the worrying trend of feminicides among students in the State of Mexico, a region that has seen a surge in violence against women.
In the same week, authorities reported the discovery of other young women who had also been murdered in the area, highlighting a disturbing pattern of violence against female students. One of the most publicized cases was that of Ana Ka, which has added urgency to calls for better protective measures for women and increased scrutiny of local law enforcement's responses to such crimes. The series of tragedies has sparked outrage and heightened concerns regarding safety in the region, particularly for young women and students.
