Authorities discovered the body of a 23-year-old woman who had gone missing in northern Mexico after using the ride-hailing app DiDi.
Paola Banuelos, an education student, was last seen getting into a car hailed via the app early Monday after leaving a bar in Mexicali, near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Her body was found in a remote area with signs of violence. Sergio Gutierrez, the driver of the DiDi car and the main suspect in the suspected murder, has turned himself in.
Gutierrez cited fear as his reason for fleeing, and he and his family had reportedly received threats. The incident has sparked outrage in Mexico, where gender-related violence remains a significant issue.
