“No damage was found in the entrances to the home, that is, the panels, doors or exteriors were not damaged,” the Prosecutor’s Office said and reiterated that no third person entered the place.
On the death certificate, it was detailed that the estimated time of death was 2:30 am, an hour and a half after his arrival at the home.
The hypothesis of the Prosecutor’s Office regarding the death of Magistrate Jesús Ociel Baena
The attorney general of the state of Aguascalientes, Jesús Figueroa, indicated that Baena would have been murdered with a sharp weapon by his partner, who would then have taken his own life.
“What we have from the investigation is that an argument began in one of the rooms. (…) We found 20 wounds on the magistrate’s body, of those 20 wounds, 19 are superficial, with a sharp object that we detected as knives. shave,” he expressed on the Radio Formula station.
According to Figueroa, a wound in the neck was what caused Baena’s death: “It is a homicide. We saw wounds on Dorian’s fingers. He went up to the bedroom, (…) and caused a wound in his neck “.

(In context: This is the authorities’ hypothesis about the murder of Magistrate Ociel Baena).
“It may seem like a hypothesis, for many people, that is not very credible, but we are being careful, especially to leave the record and conservation of all these signs,” he reiterated.
The family describes the entire investigative process as “lies.” Cinthya Baena, sister, stated that she chatted with Baena and Nieves when they landed in Aguascalientes and did not notice anything strange.
“They were very calm, they loved each other a lot, there was no evil in them. They had just arrived from a trip to Oaxaca happy and content. We spoke with him when they arrived at the airport. They were happy, as always,” he said.
Juan Baena Hernández, the magistrate’s father, assured that the hypothesis that the authorities are handling is a lack of respect “for intelligence.” He demanded that the death threats Baena had received be taken into account.

“The way he was going to die, they told him that he was going to die with his throat cut and apparently that is the cause that the Prosecutor’s Office is giving as the cause of death. We do not want to say that the Prosecutor’s Office is bad or wrong, we just want it to take into account tells these events,” he said for the Milenio channel.

The magistrate’s career was marked by seeking the participation of LGBTI people in Mexican politics. He set precedents in that country by receiving his non-binary gender voting card and his modified birth certificate.
“We should be talking about the advances in terms of political electoral rights, but we ended up talking about my gender expression, my heels… But I understood that this is necessary because, since a non-binary person had never been seen judging, this is the first step. What is not mentioned does not exist,” Baena said in an interview with EL TIEMPO nine months before his death.
