El Paso, Texas - Today, the family of Marisela Escobedo Ortiz, an activist who was gunned down on December 2010 by a killer in Chihuahua's capital while seeking justice for her murdered daughter continue to allege that the murder suspect was Andy Alonso Barraza Bocanegra, 23. The Escobedo family announced on Tuesday that their case to seek justice for Marisela and to bring her killer Andy Alonso Barraza Bocanegra to justice will now request for the InterAmerican Commission for Human Rights to investigate her homicide in Chihuahua, since the State of Chihuahua has failed to do so. José Enriquez Jiménez Zavala who the authorities from the state of Chihuahua claimed to have killed Marisela falsely claimed that he died of a heart attack in prison, but it was learned that Zavala was actually strangled to death instead, according to Luz Estela Cruz Rodríguez, the Escobedo legal advisor and director for the Womens Human Rights Center, the El Estado Daily in Chihuahua reported on Tuesday.
Andy Alonso, a U.S. citizen remains free and is living in Texas. He is the younger brother of deceased Sergio Rafael Barraza Bocanegra, 26, a Zeta leader who also evaded justice for killing Marisela's daughter and burning her body, according to his confession. Sergio was set free after he was arrested for her murder by a three panel of judges. The judges were later fired for their unjust decision and Sergio in absentia was found guilty and sentence to 50 years in prison for the Rubí Marisol Fraire Escobedo, 16, murder. She was murdered by Sergio on August 2008.
