The ceremony will take place at 1:00 p.m., at the facilities of the Ciudad Juarez penitentiary, said Jorge Armendariz, spokesman for the State Public Security Secretariat (SSPE).
He indicated that the homage will be attended by the secretary of the corporation, Gilberto Loya Chávez, and that a thorough tour of the interior of the prison will be carried out beforehand to evaluate the security conditions one year after the tragic massacre that shocked the community.
On the fateful January 1, 2023, the following Prison Security and Custody agents lost their lives: Abel Juárez Hernández, Édgar Omar Hernández García, Carlos Santiago Padilla Silva, Domingo Trejo Serrano, José Ausencio Pérez Puentes, Guadalupe Gámez Galán, Carlos Ernesto Salinas Bañuelos, Manuel Rodríguez Soria, Jaime Arciniega Alvarado and Víctor Hugo Rivera Meraz.
The following day, commander Omar Eduardo Posada Cárdenas and agent Édgar Ramírez Ramírez of the State Investigation Agency also lost their lives.
This unfortunate event occurred during the escape led by Ernesto Alfredo “El Neto” Piñón de la Cruz, a member of “Los Mexicles”, which resulted in the escape of 28 inmates.
As a result of all the violent events that have taken place in Ciudad Juarez, so far 15 people have been injured (14 inmates and one custodian); 12 agents lost their lives: 10 Cereso custodians and 2 officers of the State Investigation Agency, as well as 8 Cereso inmates, among them “El Neto”.
