### Family of Bianca Pérez Demands Justice After Her Femicide in Ensenada
The family of Bianca Pérez, a 20-year-old woman found dead on June 22 in the dunes of a beach located at Avenida Pedro Loyola and Calle Granada in the Loma Dorada neighborhood of Ensenada, is calling for justice. Joshua Okniel, age 19 and Bianca’s ex-boyfriend, was arrested and charged with her murder by asphyxiation.
On Tuesday, September 24, Bianca’s sister placed photographs and messages at the entrance of the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) to express her frustration over investigators not allowing the family access to the case files. “She endured a lot of mistreatment and abuse, but now we are raising our voices for her,” Bianca’s sister said.
Bianca was the mother of two young children who are currently in a vulnerable situation. To date, the authorities have not provided any psychological support, material assistance, or reparations as mandated by law.
The family urgently called on the State Attorney General, María Elena Andrade, to ensure that her team conducts the necessary investigations to bring peace to the family through a swift trial and appropriate victim support.
