[^1]\n\nDiego Sebastián N, the main suspect in the murder of Jonathan Meléndez, changed his confession to claim the motive was a demand for 30 million pesos in Bitcoin and dollars rather than a loan. [^2]\n\nJonathan Meléndez, a 38-year-old keyboardist for the band Camilo Séptimo, was killed along with his wife Ana Paula, their three-year-old daughter, and a 21-year-old housekeeper. [^3]\n\nThe General Attorney's Office of Justice of the State of Mexico (FGJEM) delivered the bodies of Jonathan Samuel Meléndez Ochoa, a 38-year-old musician; his 35-year-old pregnant wife Ana Paula Barragán; their three-year-old daughter; and their 21-year-old domestic worker Aleyda Romero to their families on September 4, 2026. [^4]\n\nMexican authorities arrested Diego Sebastián N and Gerardo N in a coordinated operation by the State of Mexico Prosecutor's Office (FGJEM), the federal Security Secretariat (SSPC), and Mexico City's Security Secretariat (SSCDMX) for the murder of keyboardist Jonathan Meléndez and his family in Atizapán de Zaragoza. [^5]\n\nThe Fiscalía General de Justicia del Estado de México (FGJEM) stated that Diego Sebastián N and Gerardo N murdered Jonathan Meléndez, his pregnant wife, their daughter, and an employee in Atizapán de Zaragoza to steal a cold storage box containing millions of dollars in Bitcoin. [^6]\n\nA six-year-old son of the Meléndez couple was found alive after hiding in the property until authorities arrived. [^7]\n\nIn his initial statement, Diego Sebastián N stated he entered the penthouse in Atizapán de Zaragoza to request a loan of 300,000 Mexican pesos from Jonathan Meléndez. [^8]\n\nThe suspect now asserts that his goal was to seize a digital memory containing access keys to cryptocurrency valued at approximately 30 million pesos. [^9]\n\nDiego Sebastián N, 51, a partner of Jonathan Melendez, and Gerardo N, 52, his driver, are currently detained by the Fiscalía General de Justicia del Estado de México. [^10]\n\nThe mass shooting occurred on Tuesday in the Gran Viure subdivision in Zona Esmeralda, Atizapán de Zaragoza. [^11]\n\nThe four victims were killed in a mass shooting on September 2, 2026, inside an apartment in the Grand Viure neighborhood of Atizapán.
