Five executions for 315 dollars in Narvarte

Five executions for 315 dollars in Narvarte: The multiple homicide of Rubén Espinoza Cervantes

Three armed men burst into a middle-class apartment at noon in Mexico City. Five people executed with a shot to the head. But investigators closed the case as simple robbery, and the loot barely reached 315 dollars while valuable items remained intact at the scene.

In this episode, we explore the contradictions that dismantle the official narrative: eleven calls made during the crime to a contact never investigated, an anonymous video showing five attackers instead of three, and evidence destroyed under the authority's custody. The differentiated torture of two victims, their bodies placed face to face, and an identifiable vehicle but off the registry suggest an ordered execution, not a robbery. Who ordered this massacre and why do authorities insist on covering it up?
