Four police officers involved in the death of a Salvadoran woman in Mexico were charged with probable involvement in femicide.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said that the 36-year-old victim identified as Victoria Salazar Arriaza had been put into brutal treatment and was murdered by four police officers on Saturday in the tourist resort of Tulum, Reuters reported.

"It's a situation that fills us with sadness, pain and shame," Lopez Obrador said in a press conference.

The Incident

Social media users posted videos of the incident on Saturday night, showing a female officer kneeling on Salazar's back while she was being arrested.

The footage also showed three other male police officers chatting casually and standing around her motionless and facedown body. The three officers were then seen to pick her up while she was still handcuffed into the back of a police pickup truck and drove away, The Guardian reported.

Some reports said the police were responding to a public disturbance complaint. An autopsy showed that the victim's neck had been broken.

Óscar Montes de Oca Rosales, the attorney general of Quintana Roo state, said Monday that the four municipal police officers had already been charged with femicide after what the autopsy revealed.

"The police restraint technique was applied with a disproportionate and excessive force," Montes de Oca noted.

This incident drew comparisons with the death of Black man George Floyd in Minneapolis, wherein a white police officer pressed his knee against his neck.

El Salvador's foreign ministry commented on the incident, saying there will be no impunity for those who participated in Salazar's death.

"All the force of the law will be brought to bear to bring those responsible to trial," the state attorney general's office said.

Salazar was a single mother and was working in Tulum cleaning hotels, according to her mother, Rosibel Arriaza.

Arriaza said authorities are supposed to protect people with all the techniques they have to arrest and subdue some. However, she noted that this was an abuse of power, adding that her daughter did not deserve "this death."

She said she wants justice for her daughter as it was not fair with what they did to her. Arriaza further noted that her daughter was just a woman and was not armed.

The Salvadoran woman was reportedly living in Mexico since at least 2018 on a "humanitarian visa." El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said the government would support Salazar's two daughters.

Sympathies Pour In for the Salvadoran Woman

On Monday, some people placed a small potted plant and a couple of candles outside the convenience store where the Salvadoran woman was killed. Someone wrote "here they killed Victoria" on the pavement.

Salazar left Sonsonate five years ago to look for better opportunities and escape the area's street violence. Her mother is currently working with Salvadoran authorities on getting her daughter's body repatriated.

Tulum has been known to suffer growing pains from its development, land disputes, and gang activity.
