Police try to decipher the love triangle that led to the murder of a contestant of 'Falling in love'

Each week about twenty applicants enter the TV set Azteca to participate in the quintessential evening television program: Falling in love , a kind of Women, men and vice versa to the Mexican. One of them was Brian del Prado (29), Natalí Míchel (35) also participated, and both have died violently in the last seven months. Natalí's body appeared last April, inside his home and with apparent signs of violence; Brian's, the night of Saturday, November 30, inside his blue Nissan and with 10 bullet impacts on the body.

His girlfriend witnessed everything and as he confessed to the agents, minutes before the murder, they had both had a strong discussion with a group of eight women in the vicinity of the Madeira Rooftop bar, south of the city. After getting in his car, two armed men aboard a motorcycle chased them at full speed through the streets of the Coyoacán neighborhood until they reached them, opened fire and escaped in the direction of Barrio Bravo , as Tepito is popularly known.

Traditionally considered as an oasis in the face of violence imposed by drug cartels in many parts of the country, Mexico City has seen its most feared organization grow dangerously: the Tepito Union. In its nine years of existence, this criminal group has been extending its tentacles through different neighborhoods of the city, but has also suffered the arrest of several important members. In August 2018, the capital authorities managed to arrest the band's leader, Roberto Moyado Esparza , aka El Betito , whose former partner, popularly known as Zara , was also the girlfriend of the deceased contestant of Enamorándonos . However, Brian del Prado's links with the Union do not end here.

Manelyk González, contestant of 'Acapulco Shore', threatened by her ex boyfriend.

According to the local journalist Carlos Jiménez, del Prado had also maintained another relationship with Manelyk González , former contestant of the Acapulco Shore reality show and also a former partner of a criminal gang leader. "I do not deny it, I do know him and I had a relationship with him, but until then," Manelyk said in a television program in 2017, when asked about his alleged courtship with David García Ramíez, aka El Pistache .

On this capo arrested on October 30, two search and seizure orders weighed for two homicides committed in 2016. The first for the murder of the owner of the Rome Terrace and the second for the death of a young man at the Blue Monkey bar Coapa Before his arrest last October, El Pistache had already had a fleeting, ten-day step through jail, but a judge acquitted him in 2015 of the homicide he allegedly committed. The former Acapulco Shore contestant did clarify during the interview that, in any case, the relationship they had had had "at least five years before" the homicide accusations.

The controversial relationship between the deceased contestant and former partners of cartel members has caught a debate among the specialized press, which is fed every day with new evidence. In parallel, the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City analyzes from the monitoring center known as C-5, where agents have access to more than 15,000 cameras installed throughout the city, the images captured during the persecution and the murder of Brian del Prado According to the agents confessed to the journalist Carlos Jiménez, they have their clothes, the type of vehicle and the address through which they escaped.

The case has put the Falling in the eye of the hurricane again. Apart from the murders of two of his contestants, at the end of May another contestant nicknamed Vanda reported having been the victim of death threats by his former partner. "You are going to bleed alive, you want it," is heard in an audio filtered by the affected. In all cases of threats, or directly murder of its contestants, the direction of the program has opted for an informative silence that has been widely criticized. In recent months, the audience of the program has fallen so much that it barely exceeds half a million followers, compared to more than one and a half million that it maintained during its startup.

The rumor about its possible cancellation has gained strength in recent days, since the controversial murders of the two contestants have added to the poor rating results. Faced with criticism, Falling in love has responded with indifference, under the maxim that "the show must continue." Its broadcast continues for the moment, oblivious to the duel of the family of Brian del Prado, to the possible links with Unión Tepito or to the inquiries that the Capital Police can make regarding the murder of the young contestant.
