Guadalajara, Jal. Gabriel Alejandro Galaviz, the 20-year-old man who attacked and stabbed three women to death on March 6 and who was arrested the same day, deliberately threw himself from the second floor inside the Puente Grande Metropolitan Jail and died at the Guadalajara Civil Hospital this Monday afternoon at 7:55 p.m.
The Directorate of Prevention and Social Reintegration (DIGPRES) reported that the triple femicide jumped from a height of six meters while he was hanging his clothes, an action that resulted in a head injury.
“Given the severity of his injuries, he was transferred to the Civil Hospital in a DIGPRES Jalisco ambulance; in compliance with the institution’s protocols and obligations, his relatives were also informed,” the agency in charge of the state prison system detailed, adding that his parents were also present before he was pronounced dead after six cardiac arrests.
The young man was linked to the proceedings after he entered the UTEG campus, located at the intersection of Olímpica and Marcelino García Barragán avenues, in Guadalajara, on March 6, and for no apparent reason killed two female employees of the private school, as well as wounding a worker who tried to stop him.
Amid screams and axe blows on classroom doors, which caused panic among students and staff, Gabriel Alejandro locked himself in a room, from where he was rescued by municipal police, who entered the premises after being alerted by the injured employee.
Before moving to UTEG, the femicide killed the first woman, identified as Monica, in a room at the Gran Vía Motel on Washington Avenue in Guadalajara.
He uploaded on his social networks a photo of himself in the bathroom of a motel room, dressed in black, with gloves and the ax that he would use a few minutes later for his crime, and wrote that “that was the day.”
