Members of the State Citizen Security Force arrested María de la Luz Concepción “N,” known as “La Tía,” for her alleged involvement in the disappearance of several young people and her supposed connection to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in Tijuana, Baja California.
The arrest was made following a direct intervention by searching mothers’ groups in the Los Valles neighborhood, southwest of the city.
The capture of María de la Luz Concepción “N,” also known as “La Abuela,” “La Güera,” and “Doña Juanita,” occurred this Monday, March 9, on Valle de Eugenia Esqueviel Street, in the Los Valles neighborhood of Tijuana.
The woman, originally from Michoacán, was wanted on an arrest warrant for her alleged involvement in the crime of enforced disappearance, related to events that occurred on December 28, 2025.
The events unfolded when mothers searching for their missing loved ones went to the housing development to post photographs of their disappeared relatives. Neighbors reported that the woman identified as responsible for several abductions lived in one of the gated communities in the area.
The mothers, initially without police accompaniment, went to the house to confront the suspect. “La Tía” (The Aunt) claimed to know one of the missing young men and promised one of the mothers that she would contact her if she obtained any information; she even hugged her.
