Adrian was a former migrant, who had been helping other migrants for the last six years by providing them with food and denouncing the gross violations of human rights perpetrated by the Mexican authorities in the region of Tequixquiac.

After this, they started receiving death threats from gang members, who are believed to be the perpetrators of the crime.
