Baja California’s Attorney General’s Office (FGE) announced Tuesday that 14 people reported missing across Tijuana, Tecate, and Playas de Rosarito have been found alive and in good health. Seven of the 14 are minors, with ages ranging from 14 to 17.
The FGE’s specialized unit for investigating forced disappearances and disappearances committed by private individuals coordinated the search efforts. Agency officials said the results came from work across multiple institutional departments, combined with tips from the public.
Names and Ages of Those Found
According to the full list released by the FGE, those located include Alejo Melecio Ramírez Cervantes, 61; Allison Michell Martínez Ramírez, 16; Cristian Iván Ramírez Rojas, 24; Dayanna Victoria Pérez Santos, 16; Itzel Guadalupe Elizalde Hernández, 15; Javier García Correa, 15; and Jorge Adrián Lepiz Echeverría, 14.
The list also names Juan Zaragoza Sígala, 77; Laura Covarrubias Vázquez, 23; Luna Guadalupe Murillo Talavera, 22; Manuel de Jesús Rochín Domínguez, 52; Marco Antonio Ocampo Vázquez, 30; Mía Alexia Bueno Topete, 15; and Yocelín Michel Díaz Hernández, 17. The ages span from 14 to 77, showing the breadth of disappearance cases the unit handles.
Part of a Regular Pattern of Announcements
The FGE did not release details about the circumstances of the disappearances or how the individuals were found. This is consistent with previous announcements from the office, which typically confirm locations without elaborating on individual cases.
Tuesday’s announcement follows a steady pattern of batch disclosures by the FGE in 2026. On May 26, the office reported locating 21 missing people in Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito, including 10 minors. On May 8, it announced 16 people found in Tijuana and Tecate. On April 27, nine people were located in Tijuana alone, five of them minors. A separate batch of 14 was announced in mid-April.
Baja California consistently ranks among Mexico’s states with the highest number of disappearance reports. The FGE urged anyone with information about pending missing persons cases to contact authorities. Community tips, the office said, continue to play a key role in locating missing individuals.
