**Family Demands Justice for Kaleb’s Unsolved Murder in Tijuana**
In the aftermath of the tragic discovery of 16-year-old Kaleb Enrique, who was found dead over a month ago, his grieving family continues to demand justice for their beloved son. Kaleb, a freshman in high school, disappeared on the night of October 6 after leaving his home in Lomas Verdes, Tijuana, to return a borrowed phone. His body was later found near train tracks in Los Pinos, bearing multiple injuries and a stab wound to the neck.
The authorities had initially refused to file a missing person report due to a 72-hour waiting policy, delaying the investigation process. Although Kaleb’s family suspected a fellow student at the José Vasconcelos high school, authorities dismissed the lead citing insufficient evidence.
Guadalupe Frías, Kaleb’s aunt, expressed frustration at the lack of progress, stating that despite having access to the case file, there has been no direct communication with investigators. Miguel Ángel Gaxiola, a specialized prosecutor, noted an arrest had been made in connection to another case, which might provide insights into Kaleb’s murder linked to the region’s drug trade prevalent in the area.
However, Kaleb’s family firmly denies any connection to drug activities, fearing that such allegations are a convenient excuse to dismiss the case. “Kaleb was not involved in any illegal activities,” insisted Frías, while the family copes with their loss through counseling.
Determined to keep the investigation alive, the family plans to stage a protest at the State Attorney General’s Office on November 18, aiming to bring attention to the unresolved case.
