Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay has talked with both Carmalita De Prisco, the mother of slain 19-year-old Adam De Prisco, and his Mexican counterpart.
MacKay urged Mexican officials to conduct a full investigation into De Prisco's death. Speaking with the victim's mother, he promised that his department would closely follow any developments in the case.
