Diego Sebastian Rosen Ferlini, a man of Argentine origin, made his first official statements to authorities in the State of Mexico regarding the mass shooting of musician Jonathan Melendez and his family. [^1]

The suspect confessed that he killed Nala, a two-year-old Golden Retriever, as the first victim because she was noisy and he wanted to silence any sound that might alert neighbors. [^2]

The suspect shot and killed 38-year-old musician Jonathan Melendez, his pregnant wife Ana Paula, their three-year-old daughter, and a 21-year-old housekeeper. [^3]

Investigations by the Fiscalía General de Justicia del Estado de México (FGJEM) indicate the motive was strictly economic, involving a search for a hard drive containing cryptocurrency access and cash. [^4]

Public complaints against Rosen intensified in July 2026, with one victim reporting a loss of approximately 500,000 pesos for a stay in Valle de Bravo and another losing 400,000 pesos for a villa in Acapulco. [^5]

Rosen and his wife Paola Mandri operated a fraudulent vacation rental network using the commercial names '+Relax' and 'Nomad Property Management' to offer luxury residences in Mexico. [^6]

The couple captured clients through social media campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, requiring victims to pay the full amount in advance via bank transfers to a business account. [^7]
