Perla Alison, a young girl from Santa Martha Acatitla, was last seen after leaving her home to buy candy at a nearby store.

When she failed to return, her family reported her missing, and a nationwide Amber Alert was issued. Authorities and citizen groups launched an extensive search.

Tragically, her body was discovered in an abandoned lot near the Constitución de 1917 metro station.

A neighbor alerted authorities after detecting a foul odor coming from a nearby building. Officers from the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) secured the scene,

and forensic teams from the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office later located the body.

Officials confirmed that the body showed signs of violence. Although the official autopsy is still pending,

early indications suggest that Perla may have suffered abuse before her death. A femicide investigation has been opened.

The case has sparked widespread outrage, particularly on social media, where images and appeals to help find Perla had circulated widely. Her tragic death has struck a chord nationwide.

Feminist groups and civil organizations are demanding justice and a thorough investigation. Many are calling for the harshest possible punishment for whoever is found responsible.

Perla Alison’s death adds to the growing list of femicide cases in Mexico, a country grappling with gender-based violence.

As the investigation unfolds, her family and the public continue to call for answers—and for accountability.

This heartbreaking loss has become a rallying cry for change, reminding the nation of the urgent need to protect its most vulnerable.
