Querencia Construcciones in the Querencia Los Cabos Criminal Case: What the Record Shows and What It Does Not
On March 25, 2025, a 5-year-old girl in a golf cart was thrown from it after a truck bearing Querencia markings rear-ended the cart on Boulevard Querencia, San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico. According to a statement in the investigation file, she was then struck by Querencia's truck, which weighs more than 500 kilograms (over 1,100 pounds). Querencia Construcciones, S. de R.L. de C.V., is one of three parties listed when state prosecutors asked a pretrial judge, on July 15, 2026, to hold a charging hearing. The other two are the driver and the club doctor, both under investigation. According to the transcription of the ruling, on September 23, 2026, a pretrial judge in Los Cabos revoked a decision not to prosecute because it was not grounded in law or reasoned, and ordered the investigation to continue. In the same ruling, the judge considered that not prosecuting was warranted as to the companies.
What has not been established: the truck and the driver's employer
The case record describes the vehicle as a truck bearing Querencia markings. At about 10:15 a.m. on March 25, 2025, it rear-ended the golf cart on Boulevard Querencia.
The driver, who is under investigation, was interviewed by a state investigator, an officer of the investigative police. That interview is part of the investigation file (carpeta de investigación), the set of records prosecutors keep on the case.
According to his interview with a state investigator on March 26, 2025, he described himself as a "construction driver for the Querencia company" (translated from Spanish; original: "chofer de construcción para la empresa Querencia"). Who formally employed the driver, and who owned the truck, has not been established.
His account of the crash is set out in what the driver told a state investigator on March 26, 2025.
The July 15, 2026 request for a charging hearing
In Mexico, state prosecutors (Ministerio Público) are the authority that investigates crimes and decides what to take before a judge. On July 15, 2026, they asked a judge in Los Cabos to hold a charging hearing (audiencia de imputación) in this case.
At a charging hearing, prosecutors may formally notify a person or a company of the charges they are investigating. It is not a trial. Mexico has no grand jury, so prosecutors bring this kind of request straight to a judge.
Two people and one company appear in the request. The people are the driver and the club doctor, both under investigation; the company is Querencia Construcciones. After receiving the request, the judge set a date for the hearing.
For the request as a procedural step, see what prosecutors asked for on July 15, 2026.
What the pretrial judge asked for on August 26, 2026
The pretrial judge (Juez de Control) is the judge who supervises the investigation stage in Mexico. On August 26, 2026, the pretrial judge in Los Cabos required prosecutors to provide the name of the legal representative of "the company under investigation" (persona moral investigada).
A legal representative is the person who acts on a company's behalf. A persona moral is a company in the eyes of the law.
Each step before that judge is explained in what happened before the pretrial judge.
What the pretrial judge decided on September 23, 2026
In a decision not to prosecute (no ejercicio de la acción penal), Mexican prosecutors formally decline to take specific conduct to a judge.
According to the transcription of the ruling, on September 23, 2026, a pretrial judge in Los Cabos revoked a decision not to prosecute, dated February 11, 2026, and authorized on February 13, because it was not grounded in law or reasoned (fundada y motivada), and ordered the investigation to continue. In the same ruling, the judge considered that not prosecuting was warranted as to the companies (personas morales).
According to the decision and its authorization, the decision dated February 11, 2026, had sought to prosecute the driver, who is under investigation, for two offenses: unintentional bodily injury and property damage.
The judge's order also left prosecutors free to issue another decision, grounded in law and reasoned, meaning one that cites the rules that apply and explains why they fit the facts.
Querencia Construcciones, the company named in the request
The company's full name ends in S. de R.L. de C.V., short for sociedad de responsabilidad limitada de capital variable. That is a Mexican limited-liability company form, roughly comparable to a U.S. LLC.
In this case, its name appears in the charging-hearing request of July 15, 2026, alongside the driver and the club doctor, who are both under investigation. This page brings together what the case record shows about the company.
The other people, the hospital and the authorities in the record are described in the people, hospital and agencies in the case.
