### Police Vehicle Found in Pieces; Officers Still Missing in Baja California Sur
After an extensive operation launched on Tuesday, September 25, the State Attorney General’s Office (PGJE) confirmed the discovery of a vehicle that belonged to two missing State Preventive Police officers. The vehicle, found in pieces, was buried at a property located at kilometer marker 179 + 200 along the highway between Ciudad Constitución and La Paz.
The vehicle was identified as the one used by officers José Gabriel Morales Meza and Yair Radilla Flores, who were abducted by an armed group in the early hours of Saturday, September 21. Despite the vehicle’s recovery, the officers remain missing.
In order to carry out the necessary investigative actions, the PGJE requested and obtained a search warrant from a control judge. The operation began on the night of Wednesday, September 24, when forensic experts and investigation agents conducted excavations, locating parts of the police vehicle. The missing officers, however, have not yet been found.
Governor Víctor Castro has stated, “We will investigate thoroughly,” a promise that has been met with criticism from various search collectives. They argue that the swift mobilization and resources deployed for this case are not accorded to other missing persons.
A representative from the Colectivo Búsquedas X La Paz commented, “What does the State Government do? It requests support and resources within less than 24 hours for the search and location of the officers. Why not implement the same search protocols for any missing person? We are all human beings and victims with the same rights. We are ready to support and collaborate in the search and location of any human being who needs it.”
Any information regarding the missing officers can be directed to emergency numbers. Officer Jorge Gabriel, who is of medium-tall height with a fair complexion and a mole on the left side of his nose, along with a tattoo of four lions on his left arm. Officer Yair is of medium-short height with a dark complexion and a birthmark on the upper left side of his nose.
