She was missing along with young Ernesto Alonso N, 27 years of age, who had been reported missing since last Thursday when they left a seafood restaurant.
The discovery of both young people occurred around 04:00 hours this Sunday on the edge of the Mexico 15 highway, at the entrance of the San Lorenzo community, south of the capital Culiacan.
The male victim was found shot to death inside some tires, while the female victim was wrapped in flames with a tire on top of her body.
Hours after they were discovered, a video circulated on social networks where you can see the conditions in which they had been found.
Following the report of the death of the young woman in the hospital, personnel from the State Attorney General’s Office went to the hospital to open an investigation into the double homicide.
Mayra Michelle had been abducted together with Ernesto Alonso, last Thursday from San Lorenzo.
