Chihuahua, Jalisco, and the State of Mexico had the highest number of homicide victims on December 24, 2025, solidifying their position as the states with the highest incidence of this crime.
According to data provided by the Security Report, issued by an inter-institutional group comprised of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) and compiled using data from state prosecutors’ offices, the three states accounted for a total of 15 cases.
The state of Chihuahua recorded six victims in a single day, while Jalisco reported five homicides, and the State of Mexico recorded four.
Meanwhile, Aguascalientes, Baja California, Campeche, Coahuila, and others reported zero homicides.
The Mexican government reported a 37% decrease in the daily average of intentional homicides between September 2024 and November 2025, making November 2025 the month with the lowest incidence of this crime since 2015.
Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum announced these improvements during the presentation of the security report. According to the official report, the daily average of intentional homicide victims fell from 86.9 to 54.7 during the aforementioned period.
This reduction equates to 32 fewer homicides per day. The federal administration attributes this result to the National Security Strategy, which has been reinforced with targeted operations and inter-institutional coordination.
During the presentation of the report, Sheinbaum emphasized that “the decrease in the number of intentional homicides is a result of collaboration between the states and the federal government.”
