Ceci Flores responds to Gustavo Petro on B King's death: "We only embrace the little pieces they leave us."

The murder of Colombian musicians Bayron Sánchez Salazar (B King) and Jorge Luis Herrera Lemos (Regio Clown) , whose bodies were found in the State of Mexico, generated an exchange of statements between Mexican activist Ceci Flores , leader of the Searching Mothers of Sonora , and the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro .

Ceci Flores immediately responded to the Colombian president's remarks regarding the murder of the artists, who had been reported missing in the Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City on September 16.

Through her social media accounts, the searching mother pointed out that what happened to the foreign artists is part of the daily reality faced by thousands of Mexican families due to insecurity.

"Sir, this is what we experience in Mexico every day. Children disappear, mothers search for them, if we're lucky we can hold the little pieces of them left behind, and the hitmen enjoy the freedom they have to kill and live," he said.

The activist emphasized that violence in Mexico has become a constant threat and that being young in the country represents a "mortal risk."

Before the artists' deaths were confirmed, Ceci Flores posted another message highlighting the magnitude of the disappearance crisis in the country .

“In this Mexico, hundreds of children disappear every day. Most end up as statistics among piles of paper, and for many others, their names are lost in the silence of fear.”

After confirming the discovery of the bodies of B King and Regio Clown , Colombian President Gustavo Petro lamented the death of the musicians and criticized the international strategy against drug trafficking .

"They murdered our youth in the United Mexican States. An international mafia strengthened by stupid military and prohibitionist policies," the Colombian president wrote.

Gustavo Petro emphasized that the so-called "war on drugs" has strengthened the violence and power of the mafias, and called for a rethinking of security policies in Latin America .

One day before the musicians' deaths were confirmed, the Colombian president asked his Mexican counterpart, Claudia Sheinbaum, for help in locating them alive.

The president suggested that multinational mafias, which are growing stronger on the continent due to drug use in the United States, were involved in the disappearance of B King and Regio Clown.

The B King and Regio Clown case came to light on September 16, when the musicians' families reported that they had lost contact with them after they left for a gym in the Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City.

The Mexico City Prosecutor's Office and the Commission for the Search for Persons issued location reports and began an investigation.

A day later, authorities in the State of Mexico located two bodies in the municipality of Cocotitlán . The State of Mexico Prosecutor's Office began the corresponding investigations to confirm the victims' identities.

After several days of investigation, Bayron Sánchez's family identified his body at the state Attorney General's Office. The agency confirmed it had opened a homicide investigation, but no arrests have been made in the case so far.

Amid the controversy surrounding the deaths of B King and Regio Clown, the disappearance of Venezuelan Tayron Paredes Gamboa was also reported on September 19.
