Mexican authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Erika María N, the mother-in-law of Carolina Flores, in connection with the femicide of the former beauty queen, according to multiple reports.
Flores, who was identified as a former beauty pageant contestant, was found dead in the Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City. Investigators allege that Erika María N traveled to the capital after years of allegedly harassing her daughter-in-law and may have played a role in planning the attack.
The husband of Carolina Flores has come forward, stating that his mother allegedly confessed to the shooting, saying, “My mom shot her,” in remarks reported by local media.
Prosecutors in Mexico City are treating the case as a femicide and continue to gather evidence surrounding the circumstances of Flores’ death. The arrest warrant marks a significant development in the investigation, which has drawn attention due to the victim’s public profile and the alleged familial involvement in the crime.
The case underscores ongoing concerns about gender-based violence in Mexico, where femicide rates remain a serious issue affecting women across social and economic backgrounds.
