Two well-known Mexican activists who exposed the horrific “extermination camp” linked to organized crime were brutally murdered on Wednesday, April 23rd in Jalisco, authorities and their advocacy group confirmed.
María del Carmen Morales, 43, and her son Jaime Daniel Ramírez Morales, 26, both dedicated their lives to searching for missing people in Mexico. Their group, Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco (Warrior Searchers of Jalisco), made headlines in March when they discovered the Izaguirre Ranch, a site with secret crematoriums and buried human remains believed to have been an organized crime extermination camp.
The gruesome site was labeled an “extermination camp” by Morales’ organization, where criminals allegedly lured potential recruits and held them against their will. However, Mexican authorities have yet to use this term when discussing the property.
Days later, the Federal Government intervened in the property and cleaned up all the evidence, which caused great indignation among millions of Mexicans.
While the Jalisco Attorney’s Office maintains that there is no evidence linking the murder to the victims’ activism, spokesperson Denis Rodríguez stressed that all avenues must be exhausted in the investigation.
According to a statement from the Jalisco Attorney’s Office, two men on a motorcycle targeted Morales’ son around 11:30 pm on April 23. When Jaime Daniel Ramírez tried to defend himself, his mother was also injured in the attack. Both ultimately lost their lives
