We had reported on this case several times. About her last words - \"They're coming\" - and the ghostly video that went around the world. Now the investigation has taken a new turn: a \"sorry\" bouquet, placed in front of her salon, has led to a name-linked lead. Fingerprints on the vase and the black wrapping are currently being analyzed, even though the flower shop had no cameras. The delivery man testified that he knew nothing about the sender - his only task was to deliver the macabre arrangement and take a photo as proof of receipt. M\u00e1rquez herself had indicated a few days before the crime that someone with an \"expensive gift\" wanted to see her - but she had no intention of receiving him.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/theend.webp?resize=512%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/theend.webp?w=512&amp;ssl=1 512w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/theend.webp?resize=10%2C12&amp;ssl=1 10w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/theend.webp?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US government has since sanctioned Ricardo Ru\u00edz Velasco, alias \"El Double R,\" a high-ranking commander of the Jalisco Cartel (CJNG) and alleged former partner of M\u00e1rquez, due to his suspected involvement in the crime. It is the first time that a cartel member has been publicly named by the United States for this reason. According to the US Treasury Department, this is a targeted femicide meant as a show of force within organized crime. The Mexican Attorney General's Office in Jalisco, on the other hand, stated that it had no solid evidence against Ru\u00edz Velasco but requested access to the US documentation. The case thus illustrates not only the extent of gender-based violence - but also how political and geopolitical interests influence its visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As shocking as the murder of M\u00e1rquez is - it is not an isolated case. In Mexico, an average of ten women are killed every day in femicides. According to official figures, there were 797 such acts recorded in 2024, but activists believe this number to be far too low. More than 2,900 additional murdered women were not classified as femicides - a structural failure. Many prosecutors' offices are poorly equipped, untrained, or simply unwilling to define such crimes as what they are: hate crimes against women. While the M\u00e1rquez case receives international attention, the daily deaths in cities like Culiac\u00e1n or Veracruz continue without political consequence. \"It is not progress if we only act where it fits geopolitically,\" says one women's rights advocate. What remains is a quiet cry for justice - and the hope that the name Valeria M\u00e1rquez stands not only for a single act but for a long-overdue movement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"state-news,topstory,world-news\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1750523304\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Ein letzter Gru\u00df aus dem Schatten \u2013 Der Mord an Valeria M\u00e1rquez, ein Femizid mit politischer Botschaft\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/kaizen-blog.org\/en\/\"><\/div><input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"5622\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zapopan \/ Washington \/ Mexiko-Stadt \u2013 \u00dcber den Moment, als Valeria M\u00e1rquez, 23 Jahre alt, w\u00e4hrend eines TikTok-Livestreams in ihrem Sch\u00f6nheitssalon in Zapopan erschossen wurde.
