A California Ph.D. student took a research trip to Mexico. It ended in his violent death.
June 30, 2023 / 6:20 AMFor four years, Gabriel Trujillo trekked the breadth of the United States and south into Mexico in search of a flowering shrub called the common buttonbush.
Cruz-de Hoyos became concerned when Trujillo didn't respond to her phone calls and text messages - they normally talked several times a day - and his Airbnb hosts said his belongings were still there but he hadn't returned. She bought a plane ticket the next day and flew down to Mexico to search. The Sonora state prosecutor's office said in a statement Thursday that it is analyzing evidence"to establish the facts, conditions and causes of the death." The statement did not give details about what occurred or call Trujillo's death a homicide.
In a photo provided by Roxanne Cruz-de Hoyos, Gabriel Trujillo conducts field research for his doctorate in Arizona. For Trujillo, a scholar with ties to Arizona, Michigan, Illinois, New Mexico, California and Indigenous lands in Mexico, the buttonbush's ability to survive and thrive almost anywhere must have felt familiar.
With shared ancestry in the Nahua Indigenous group, which has ties to the Aztec civilization in central Mexico, the couple pledged to merge their identities and scientific studies as part of their future together.
