With the capture, formal charging, and indictment of Luis Alfonso N, the FGJES affirmed that it has successfully executed seven of the eight arrest warrants obtained in connection with this criminal case.
The General Prosecutor’s Office of the State of Sonora (FGJES) has secured the formal charging and indictment of Luis Alfonso N—the seventh suspect arrested in connection with the investigation into the disappearance of Marco Antonio N, the son of Ceci Patricia Flores, a “searching mother”—regarding events that took place on May 4, 2019, in Bahía de Kino.
The state agency reported that the defendant was brought before judicial authorities, where formal charges were presented and he was formally indicted for two counts of disappearance committed by private individuals—one of which resulted in death—as well as for criminal association, charged as a real concurrence of offenses.
He noted that the defendant was apprehended during a joint operation carried out by the Ministerial Criminal Investigation Agency (AMIC) and the Baja California State Attorney General’s Office (FGEBC) on June 1 in the El Chaparral neighborhood of Tijuana, Baja California.
The arrest was the result of investigative efforts, operational surveillance, and inter-institutional coordination, which successfully led to locating the defendant within the Tijuana River canalization zone in order to execute the judicial warrant issued against him.
The Sonora Attorney General’s Office highlighted that the charges brought against Luis Alfonso N—and his subsequent formal indictment—stem from investigations that enabled the identification of the probable perpetrators behind the abduction of Jesús Adrián N (who was subsequently found alive), as well as that of Marco Antonio N—the son of Ceci Patricia Flores—who had remained missing from May 2019 until March 25 of this year.
The Office further noted that on March 25 of the current year (2026), a search warrant was executed during which skeletal remains were discovered; these remains were subsequently identified through genetic and forensic testing as belonging to Marco Antonio N—a development representing a significant breakthrough in the case.
It was highlighted that these actions strengthened the lines of investigation and enabled the consolidation of legal proceedings against the probable perpetrators.
With the capture, formal charging, and arraignment of Luis Alfonso N, the FGJES affirmed that it has successfully executed seven of the eight arrest warrants obtained in connection with this criminal case.
In conclusion, the Sonora Attorney General’s Office added that the investigations established the probable involvement of members of a criminal cell linked to these events, who are currently facing criminal proceedings for disappearance committed by private individuals and criminal association.
