In October 2025, Ana reported that she had been suffering attacks from her brothers. She said they beat her and even tried to strangle her, but authorities did not intervene. Yesterday, Ana Laura Martínez, 36, was stabbed to death in her home in the Reforma Política neighborhood in Iztapalapa.
“My brother, Sergio Eduardo Martínez, came into my room and began insulting me, saying ‘f*ing b**, why are you here? I’m going to make sure you end up in jail and I’ll keep the house. (…)’ Then he began pulling my hair. I had already called for a police patrol beforehand.
“He started punching me in the head with both fists. Another brother, Miguel, began telling him to hit me in places where it wouldn’t show, and then Sergio tried to strangle me,” reads the complaint filed with the Mexico City prosecutor’s office.

The first obstacle Ana faced was the police patrol she requested through 911. When the unit arrived, the officer allegedly refused to intervene.
According to Ana, the officer offered to take both her and her aggressor in the same patrol car to the nearest public prosecutor’s office.
Ana refused, but later went to file a complaint. However, the public prosecutor in Iztapalapa classified the case as domestic violence, even though Ana stated that they had tried to strangle her.
Family dispute behind Ana Laura’s killing
Yesterday, after another argument with her brother Miguel Ángel Martínez, Ana was stabbed multiple times and killed.
Miguel Ángel fled the scene, and the person who gave a statement was Cipriana Solís Calderón, who said that during the early morning hours there had been a fight between her, Ana, and her brothers.
Apparently, the conflict stems from a dispute over the house located on Reforma Agrícola Street. The father of Ana and her alleged attackers is currently in prison, charged with rape and domestic violence, which also divided the family.
Mexico City prosecutors are searching for Miguel Ángel and Sergio as possible suspects in Ana’s femicide.
Authorities are also investigating the responsibility of the public prosecutor who classified the earlier attacks against Ana only as domestic violence, which prevented stronger protective measures from being implemented to stop another attack against the victim — as ultimately occurred.
