### Suspected Death of Jazz Raises Questions
The community in Baja California Sur and Jalisco remained in a state of uncertainty following the sudden death of Jazmín Esmeralda Rosales Preciado, commonly known as “Jazz.” At 41 years old, Jazz, originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, was admitted to the General Hospital of San José del Cabo on Wednesday, August 7, and was declared deceased at around 8:30 AM due to a severe cranioencephalic fracture.
According to her family, Jazz, who was an engineer and mother of two, sought help at the checkpoint near the San José del Cabo International Airport but collapsed and never regained consciousness. There was speculation around whether the injuries found on Jazz were self-inflicted or the result of an accident. This was further fueled by statements from Daniel de la Rosa Anaya, the Attorney General of the State, suggesting the possibility of her jumping from a bridge and there being bloodstains on its railing consistent with her injuries.
On August 20, the State Attorney General’s Office officially declared that Jazz had taken her own life, based on forensic investigations indicating that the severe head trauma was caused by her falling from the bridge.
Despite the official ruling, Jazz’s family maintains doubts about this conclusion. They believe she was a victim of foul play, pointing out various injuries on her body that they suspect were the result of violence. Family and friends held a memorial on San José del Cabo’s beach, demanding justice and urging for a thorough investigation.

**Fifth Femicide of the Year: The Case of Reina Margarita**
The death of Reina Margarita García Valdivia, another tragic incident, highlights the escalating violence against women in Baja California Sur. The 30-year-old was brutally beaten and thrown from a moving vehicle on July 21 near Todos Santos and Cabo San Lucas. The primary suspect, Ángel Granada Orozco, believed to be her recent partner, has reportedly fled to Durango to evade justice.
Attorney General Daniel de la Rosa confirmed that the investigation follows femicide protocols, and authorities are actively pursuing the suspect to ensure he faces justice. Additionally, Reina Margarita’s case is not isolated as four other women have been found in clandestine graves between May and now, raising concerns about the safety and judicial responses in the region.
**Government Response and Community Outcry**
Despite official statements assuring that each case is rigorously documented and followed, local advocacy groups argue that many violent deaths of women are not accurately classified as femicides. They contend that focusing on reducing femicide statistics takes priority over delivering justice to the victims and their families.
As the investigation into these tragic deaths continues, families and activists are organizing to demand greater accountability from the authorities and concrete actions to protect women in Baja California Sur.
