The surveillance of the target was carried out by Alexandra Elizabeth Chimbo Farinango, Óscar Andrés Flores, Víctor Alfonso Flores and Erick Marcelo Ramírez Párraga, according to the FGE.

These suspects were only accomplices and participated in coordination and planning, but none participated as a hit man.

Johan David Castillo López, initially accused of the murder, died after being wounded during his capture. However, tests showed that six other hit men had escaped.

A security camera near the crime scene allowed authorities to locate the house where the other participants who managed to escape were hiding. The remaining hitmen were then killed in prison in October of the same year.
