What happened
Ingrid Escamilla was murdered by her partner in Mexico City in 2020. The case drew outrage not only because of the killing but because graphic crime-scene images were leaked and published.
The investigation
The suspect was detained at the scene and prosecutors built the case around physical evidence, admissions and the couple’s relationship.
What the courts or investigators concluded
Erick Francisco Robledo was convicted of femicide and sentenced to a lengthy prison term.
Why the case remains significant
Public anger over the circulation of images helped drive reforms commonly called “Ley Ingrid,” aimed at penalizing officials who improperly share sensitive images of victims.
