The attorney general of the state of Aguascalientes, Jesús Figueroa, indicated that Baena would have been murdered by his partnerwho would later have taken his own life.

According to Figueroa, a wound to the neck was what caused Baena’s death. “It’s a homicide. We saw wounds on Dorian’s fingers. He went up to the bedroom, (…) and caused a wound on his neck.”
“It may seem like a hypothesis, for many people, that is not very credible, but we are being careful, especially to leave the record and conservation of all these signs,” he reiterated in the Mexican media.

Cinthya Baena, the magistrate’s sister, demanded that her name be cleared, considering the authorities’ statements as “false.”
“They are lies. They were very calm, they loved each other a lot, there was no evil in them. They had just arrived from a trip to Oaxaca happy and content. We spoke with him when they arrived at the airport. They were happy, as always,” he insisted to local media.

“We should be talking about the advances in terms of political electoral rights, but we ended up talking about my gender expression, my heels… But I understood that this is necessary because, since a non-binary person had never been seen judging, this is the first step. What is not mentioned does not exist,” Baena said in an interview with EL TIEMPO nine months before his death.
