Friends and family of 10-year-old Ángel Gabriel Jiménez, stabbed to death on the night of March 24, in the municipality of Ameca, said goodbye to him on Tuesday afternoon.
His loved ones and residents of the community of San Antonio Matute, where the little boy was from, met at the temple of this community located 75 kilometers from Guadalajara.
After the funeral mass, the hearse took the little boy’s body to his final resting place.
Friends, family, and residents of this community walked at a slow pace behind the float, mostly dressed in white and holding balloons of the same color.
Through social networks, the residents of San Antonio Matute expressed indignation and have already demanded justice for the murder of the infant, with the hashtag #JusticiaParaÁngel and #ConLosNiñosNo.
The State Prosecutor’s Office reported that the attack occurred on the night of March 24, when the minor and his father were traveling in a vehicle on the Guadalajara-Ameca highway.
While passing through the El Quelite ranchería, the vehicle was intercepted by several unknown individuals who were in a car, from which they got out with their faces covered, attacked the minor with a knife and then fled.
The boy was taken to a hospital where he died.
