**Eglantina Esquivel, Director of Lucha de las Féminas Magazine, Passes Away**
Eglantina Esquivel, director of the magazine *Lucha de las Féminas,* and mother of photojournalist Margarito Martínez Esquivel, passed away on the morning of August 11, 2024. She died around 6 AM at the Issstecali Hospital in Tijuana after being hospitalized for 15 days due to health issues.
Since January 17, 2022, when her son Margarito was tragically murdered in the Camino Verde neighborhood, Eglantina Esquivel has fought tirelessly for justice, ensuring that her son’s murder would not go unpunished. “I ask for justice, sir, that they investigate, that it does not go unpunished. Neither for the case of Lourdes Maldonado, a great companion, a great friend who came from Mexico and connected with all of us. I ask for justice, justice, justice for Margarito and for Lourdes,” Eglantina said during the protocol signing event for the protection of journalists in February 2022.
Two individuals have been sentenced for the murder of Margarito Martínez: Manuel Ramos, also known as “El Uber,” and José Heriberto Ochoa Díaz, alias “El Huesos.” Both are serving their sentences at El Hongo prison in Tecate. However, Christian Adán “N,” alias “Cabo 16” or “El Jaguar,” has yet to be sentenced, despite the oral trial beginning on April 30 of this year.
