### With Fear and Hope, Family and Friends Urge State Prosecutor’s Office to Clarify Gabriela’s Death
Family members and friends continue their quest for justice in the case of Gabriela Gutiérrez, who was murdered on July 12th while returning home from her job at the Maternal and Child Hospital. On Friday afternoon, a second march was organized where supporters carried signs and banners with Gabriela’s photo and messages demanding “Justice for Gaby.” The march started at the municipal palace and ended at the State General Prosecutor’s Office (FGE).
Gabriela’s mother, Gloria Aguilar Tapia, expressed frustration over the lack of information from the Prosecutor’s Office, which has only indicated that “there are advances” in the case. “Only they know their work, I trust that there will be justice, even if it takes time. We are here because we must pressure for justice,” she said.
Gloria described her daughter as a cheerful, hardworking, and dedicated nurse. She emphasized the family’s need to know who is responsible so that they can face the consequences of their actions. Gabriela’s 17-year-old son is struggling with anger over his mother’s death, a sentiment shared by the entire family who now feel fear and vulnerability.
Manuel Sandoval, Gabriela’s husband, echoed the frustration, noting that they have no suspects or motive for the murder, leaving the family in a state of uncertainty. He described life without Gabriela as a “void” and acknowledged the international support they have received as victims.
Despite the fear, the family and friends continue to pressure for clarity and justice, not allowing the murder to fade into obscurity.
