She is only 19 years old: The fourth suspect in the attack on the bar in Mexico where a young Cuban woman was killed is arrested

The violence that , in Puebla, continues to leave shocking chapters that affect both Mexico and the Cuban community inside and outside the Island.

Last Thursday, César N., a young man of just 19 years, was arrested as the fourth individual implicated in the arson attack against the bar Lacoss, which occurred in the early hours of November 18.

According to a press release from the Attorney General's Office of the State of Puebla, the arrest was the result of intelligence work, information analysis, and fieldwork, which led to an interinstitutional operation supported by the Navy, the Army, the National Guard, and state police.

The arrest took place in the early hours of December 11, following a raid at a residence in San Martín Texmelucan, where the young man was located and placed at the disposal of a Control Judge for qualified homicide and attempted qualified homicide.

The Mexican outlet TeleDiario reported that with this arrest, the total number of people detained for the attack, which resulted in seven deaths, including the young Cuban woman, has now reached four, along with several employees of the establishment.

The report confirms that César N. would have directly participated in the fire that turned the nightclub into a deadly trap.

For its part, Milenio noted that investigations remain open and that authorities do not rule out further arrests, as they delve into two main lines of inquiry: drug dealing and extortion, a scheme that, according to witnesses, may have motivated the attack.

"That's what happens when you don't pay", the attackers allegedly warned before setting the place on fire.

The case of Elianis has had a particular impact on the Cuban community. A migrant, mother of a small child, and the economic support of her family in Holguín, the young woman died from carbon monoxide poisoning, trapped in the flames.

His story did not end with his death, as his parents had to identify the body through a video call, travel to Mexico with humanitarian visas and then face the impossibility of repatriating the ashes due to lack of resources, despite initial promises of official support.

Before the arrest of César N., the authorities had already captured Gabriel N., aka "El Tato", identified as the alleged intellectual author of the attack; Alejandro N., aka "El Pelón", with a criminal record; and Isabel N., identified as one of the material authors of the fire.

As the investigations progress, the case remains a painful reminder of the vulnerability of many Cuban migrants in Mexico, caught between economic insecurity and criminal violence.
