Esly Michell García Pacheco, 35, a woman using crutches, was shot ten times in a Comayagüela alley on June 8; her death underscores the persistence of femicide and near-total impunity in Honduras, where rights groups report a 95 percent rate of unresolved killings of women.

The father of Daniel Meraz, accused of killing nurse Elvia Mercedes Gómez, said he coordinated his son's surrender with police to ensure justice and revealed the suspect had been using marijuana.
