Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo was fatally shot Saturday night after attending a candlelight ceremony, authorities said. Attacked shortly after 8 p.m., he died at a hospital, according to Michoacán’s attorney general, Carlos Torres Piña. Videos captured gunfire as dozens ran for cover. The governor confirmed his death; two suspects who probably took part were detained, and the Security Cabinet said one assailant was killed. The motive remains unclear. Manzo had criticized President Claudia Sheinbaum’s security strategy, sought federal help, and recently posted that he feared for his life.
