Missing Teen, Daughter of Woman Killed in Mexican Police Custody, Is Found

SAN SALVADOR, EL SALVADOR - El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on Wednesday that a missing teenager had been found, identifying her as the daughter of Victoria Salazar, who died in Mexico after a Mexican female police officer was seen in a video kneeling on her back.

The attorney general's office of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, where Salazar died, said on Tuesday night that an amber alert had been issued for her daughter, Francela Yaritza Salazar Arriaza, 16. Francela was last seen in the Caribbean tourist resort of Tulum, where her mother was killed. "The oldest daughter of Victoria has been found. She is now in the custody of FGE," Bukele tweeted, referring to the state attorney general's office. "She is physically well." Quintana Roo's attorney general's office also did not respond to a request for comment.
