Óscar García Guzmán was convicted in seven cases in the State of Mexico between September 2021 and October 2023. Four of them were for feminicidio, the Mexican offense of killing a woman because of her sex. One was for homicidio, the killing of a man. The others were for violación (rape) and for delitos vinculados a la desaparición de persona (offenses linked to the disappearance of a person). The combined sentence is 335 years.
Prosecutors in the State of Mexico print the name of an accused person as Óscar "N", and that form was used while the cases were open. His date and place of birth, his family and his early life are not on record.
Mónica Chávez Cuate is the earliest of the five. She died on September 30, 2012, in Huixquilucan. Her age is not on record. Her family later took part in the public apology made to the families in October 2026.
Adriana González Hernández was 27. She died in March 2017.
Martha Patricia Nava Sotelo was 25. She died in Toluca on February 12, 2019.
Jessica Guadalupe Jaramillo Orihuela was 23. She died in Toluca on October 27, 2019.
A man was also killed in Xonacatlán. His name, his age and the date are not on record. A separate rape conviction concerns a woman in Toluca, and a further conviction for offenses linked to a disappearance concerns a young woman in Toluca. Neither is named.
García Guzmán was arrested in December 2019. The three Toluca deaths of 2019 were the first to be charged. The cases that followed reached back to 2012 and 2017.
The sentences came from a Tribunal de Enjuiciamiento of the Poder Judicial del Estado de México in the judicial district of Tenango del Valle, on cases brought by the state prosecutor's office.
In September 2021 a judge sentenced him to 12 years and 6 months for violación. The same month, the conviction for offenses linked to the disappearance of a young woman in Toluca carried 17 years and 6 months. At that point he had been bound over for trial in three feminicide cases and one homicide case.
On March 31, 2022, he was sentenced to 62 years and 6 months for the feminicidio of Jessica Guadalupe Jaramillo Orihuela, with an order to pay reparation to her family.
On April 1, 2022, he received 62 years and 6 months for the homicidio of the man in Xonacatlán.
On April 20, 2022, a life sentence was announced for the feminicidio of the 27-year-old woman, a fifth conviction. A month later, on May 20, 2022, he was sentenced to 62 years and 6 months for the feminicidio of the 25-year-old woman. It was the sixth sentence, with one more feminicide case pending at that time.
In October 2023 a seventh sentence followed: 55 years for the feminicidio of Mónica Chávez Cuate. By then the case of the 27-year-old woman stood at 62 years and 6 months rather than a life sentence. The reason for the change is not on record. The seven sentences add up to 335 years: 12 years and 6 months, 17 years and 6 months, four terms of 62 years and 6 months, and 55 years.
Four women and one man died in five separate events, and each death produced its own conviction. Prosecutors have described him as a serial offender believed to have killed at least five people. No other deaths are on record as charged or convicted.
In October 2026 the state prosecutor's office publicly apologized to the families of the victims for omissions and deficiencies in the investigations, after a recommendation by the state human rights commission. The mothers of Mónica, Jessica and Adriana had asked for the apology and for guarantees that such failures would not recur.
His present location is a state prison in the State of Mexico. Appeals, any further proceedings and any sentences after October 2023 are not on record.
The seven terms add up to 335 years. The life sentence of April 2022 and the later 62 years and 6 months for the same case have no explanation on record, and whether that sentence was changed on appeal is not on record. The date of the man's death in Xonacatlán is not on record.
