Querencia Los Cabos Prosecutor Complaint: What It Alleges About Officials González Beltrán and Casimiro Morales

Bryan Alejandro González Beltrán, a state prosecutor with the Baja California Sur State Attorney General's Office, and Consuelo Erica Casimiro Morales, acting head of one of its regional deputy prosecutor's offices, have been named in a criminal complaint filed with the authorities. The Querencia Los Cabos prosecutor complaint addresses a decision not to prosecute (no ejercicio de la acción penal) dated February 11, 2026. According to the complaint, it is not among the 316 numbered sheets (fojas) of a set of certified copies of the investigation file. On August 26, 2026, the parties were handed copies totaling 403 sheets; the complaint contends the decision is not among those either.

What the complaint contends

In Mexico, state prosecutors (Ministerio Público), the authority that investigates crimes and decides whether to take a case to a judge, keep each inquiry in an investigation file (carpeta de investigación). A criminal complaint (denuncia) is a formal report to the authorities of acts that may be crimes; it proves nothing by itself.

According to the complaint, a set of certified copies of the investigation file, 316 sheets long, does not contain the decision dated February 11, 2026. On August 26, 2026, copies of the investigation file, 403 numbered sheets (fojas) long, were handed over to the parties. The complaint contends that the decision is not among those sheets either.

The complaint alleges that the decision may have been concealed, removed or inserted into the file after the fact. This is an allegation that the complaint asks the authorities to investigate, not an established fact.

The offenses the complaint names against the two officials are set out in the complaint alleging denial of justice and two other offenses.

The decision at issue

According to the decision, González Beltrán drew it up as a state prosecutor (agente del Ministerio Público). According to its authorization, Casimiro Morales approved it on February 13, 2026, as acting head (encargada de despacho) of the Southern Zone Regional Deputy Prosecutor's Office for Criminal Proceedings.

According to the decision and its authorization, prosecutors were not to pursue three offenses, among them failure to render aid (omisión de auxilio), against four parties. Under those documents, the four were the driver and the club's doctor, both under investigation, and two companies, Querencia Real Estate and Querencia Golf Club. The stated ground was that the conduct did not fit the legal definition of those offenses. The same documents record a decision to pursue prosecution of the driver for unintentional bodily injury and property damage.

More on that document is in Baja California Sur prosecutors' decision not to prosecute in the Querencia Los Cabos case.

The pretrial judge's ruling

A pretrial judge (Juez de Control), who oversees the investigation stage, can examine a decision not to prosecute at a hearing held for that purpose (audiencia de control).

According to the transcription of the ruling, on September 23, 2026, a pretrial judge in Los Cabos revoked a prosecutor's decision not to prosecute specific offenses, dated February 11, 2026, and authorized on February 13, because it was not properly grounded or reasoned, and ordered the investigation to continue. In the same ruling, the judge considered that not prosecuting was warranted as to the companies (personas morales).

The revocation rests on the ground stated in the ruling, as transcribed. What the complaint alleges about the file copies is a separate matter, raised in a different document, for the authorities to investigate.

Mexico's Constitution, in Article 16, requires every act of authority to be grounded in law and reasoned: it must cite the rules it applies and explain why they fit the facts. A state attorney general's office should not decline to prosecute three offenses without meeting that standard; doing so falls short of due process, and that is an injustice. This criticism concerns the institution's act, not the two officials, who are presumed innocent, and the complaint's allegations remain unproven.

A complaint does not prove the facts it alleges; both officials are presumed innocent. The decision arose in an investigation file opened for four offenses, including unintentional bodily injury and failure to render aid, after a truck bearing Querencia markings rear-ended a golf cart at Querencia Los Cabos on March 25, 2025.
