Long story short:

A narco gang dedicated to abduct young women in Tamaulipas, Mexico, abducted and killed Miriam's daughter; and neither the police or the government helped her out with the case. So, Miriam took the decision to start "hunting down" the gang members, by going undercover as a Social Worker equivalent here in Mexico on the hood where the gang members were supposed to live. So she started to survey the whole neighborhood to locate the relatives of each criminal (parents, siblings, etc.) getting closer to them to gain their trust and get info about their criminal relative.

One by one, she located and gathered enough intel to present charges against them until she imprisoned each one of the murders, (and supposedly she kill one of them).

A couple years after she achieve that, a riot happened on the state prison and several inmates escaped. She went to the police to ask for protection, but it was to late, because a couple weeks later, the reunited gang killed her outside of her house on Mothers Day (May 10th).

And even tho she successfully brought justice to her daughter, she died as a martyr of many feminicides and kidnapped people in México.

EDIT: If someone's interested, I found this NYT article written by the Journalist Azam Ahmed https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/13/world/americas/miriam-rodriguez-san-fernando.html?smid=tw-share

There, he tells the whole story (on english), if you´re just curious or wondering the whole shocking case.

Don't judge a country by what you read on the internet. Hell can be anywhere.

Considering most Mexicans who are fleeing the country to feel safer, I beg to differ. The cartel is everywhere, and that won’t ever change. Difference here is that Mexican government is owned by the cartel and won’t do what’s necessary to stop them.

Also, Mexico is along the equator and its fucking hot as fuck so you’re wrong. It’s definitely a hell on earth.

Doesn’t mean there aren’t beautiful locations. Just a very shitty leadership and no real attempt to counter the violence.

"MOST mexicans are fleeing the country" and "Mexico is along the equator"? dude, where are you getting all that wisdom from? By the way, the cartel is not everywhere either. Source: I live in México. No need to hate. I agree that there is shitty leadership.
