Martha Rosario G.S., a 53-year-old dental clinic employee, died after suffering gunshot wounds during a violent robbery, according to authorities. The assault unfolded shortly before noon inside a professional office near the intersection of Insurgentes and 5 de Febrero streets.
The Armed Intrusion in the Chaveña Neighborhood
According to municipal police reports, a lone suspect forced his way into the establishment with his face partially covered while brandishing a handgun. He demanded personal belongings and vehicle keys, physically assaulting the worker when she confronted him. The gunman opened fire before fleeing the scene, leaving the victim critically injured as neighborhood merchants rushed toward the sound of gunfire to alert authorities.
Accounts from local outlets vary slightly regarding the exact address of the establishment, though all place the incident within the Chaveña sector and the surrounding downtown zone. While Norte de Ciudad Juárez reported the clinic was situated at the intersection of Nicolás Bravo and Joaquín Terrazas streets, Netnoticias.mx also identified the victim as Marta González. Authorities documented that bystanders transported her independently to the hospital in a private vehicle.
Emergency Response and Investigation
Family members or witnesses rushed the wounded woman in a private vehicle to the Centro Médico de Especialidades (CME) for emergency care. Medical personnel confirmed her death shortly after her arrival in the emergency ward. Municipal police officers and elements of the Mexican Army secured the primary crime scene following the initial emergency calls.
Investigators later tracked a vehicle linked to the crime to the Francisco I. Madero neighborhood. Authorities located a Cadillac abandoned near the intersection of General Ángel Trías and Emilio Campa streets. According to preliminary findings cited by Norte de Ciudad Juárez, the suspects set fire to the getaway car before escaping in a secondary vehicle.
Jurisdiction and Unanswered Questions
The investigation has been formally transferred to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Women Victims of Crime by Reasons of Gender and the Family (FEM), reflecting the institutional protocol applied to violent crimes involving female victims in the region. As forensic teams process evidence from both the dental office and the burned vehicle, law enforcement continues searching for the individuals responsible for the fatal robbery.
