Diverso CUC, Vallarta Pride, Vallarta Trans, Colectivo Vallarta LGBT, SETAC and the Movement for Equality (MOVii) have raised their voices to denounce the inaction of the competent authorities in this case.

Despite the fact that the 72 hours of disappearance were fulfilled on Sunday night, an official disappearance record was not issued until Wednesday, May 31, 2023.

A press conference will be held on Friday and organizers are seeking individuals to help place posters of the missing man around town.
