Alexa was murdered on the morning of Sunday 22nd July after attending a concert. Her death was caused by trauma to the head.

According to witnesses, on Saturday night she had left her house with friends to go to a Pancho Barraza concert held at the Silao Fair 2018 (http://fiestasmexicanas.info/feria-de-silao-2018/). She was last seen at dawn on Sunday in the downtown area of the city.

Her body was found the next day by municipal police officers alongside the Silao-Guanajuato highway.
