Perla Alison, a young girl from the Santa Martha Acatitla neighborhood, vanished after leaving home to buy candy from a nearby store. What began as a simple errand turned into a nationwide search after relatives reported her disappearance and an Amber Alert was issued.
The heartbreaking discovery came when a neighbor, alarmed by a strong foul odor near an abandoned building close to the Constitución de 1917 metro station, called emergency services. Officers from the Secretariat of Citizen Security quickly secured the scene, and experts from the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office recovered Perla Alison’s body.
Authorities confirmed that the minor showed signs of violence, prompting an investigation into femicide. Preliminary reports suggest she may have suffered abuse prior to her death, with official autopsy results pending to determine the exact cause.
The case has ignited a wave of public outrage, amplified across social media where the community rallied tirelessly during the search. Feminist organizations and civil rights groups are demanding swift justice and harsh penalties for those responsible, underscoring the urgent need to protect vulnerable lives.
