Mexican mayor executed in crowd during Day of the Dead celebrations

Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodríguez, the mayor of Uruapan in the western state of Michoacán, was shot dead in front of dozens of people during traditional Day of the Dead celebrations. He was under police protection at the time of the attack.

According to authorities, the attack occurred on Saturday evening in the historic center of Uruapan, while hundreds of residents and tourists were participating in festive activities.

An unidentified man shot Manzo Rodríguez seven times, also wounding a city council member and a bodyguard. The mayor was taken to hospital but died a short time later, confirmed state prosecutor Carlos Torres Piña.

Federal Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch said the weapon used in the attack was linked to two previous clashes between rival criminal groups operating in the region.

"No avenue of investigation is being ruled out to clarify this cowardly act," García Harfuch declared.

On Sunday, hundreds of citizens of Uruapan took to the streets dressed in black, holding pictures of Manzo Rodríguez and chanting "Justice, justice. Out with Morena," in protest against the ruling party of President Claudia Sheinbaum.

At the head of the funeral procession, a man led the mayor's black horse, with his characteristic hat on the saddle, while mariachi musicians played mournful songs.

Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodríguez, a former Morena party lawmaker, had won the mayoral race in the midterm elections as an independent candidate. He was dubbed “Mexico’s Bukele” by his supporters for his tough approach to crime.

The mayor had been under police protection since December 2024, three months after taking office. In May of this year, his security was increased by municipal police and 14 National Guard officers, but authorities did not provide details on the reasons for the increased protection.

In recent months, Manzo Rodríguez had publicly sought President Sheinbaum's help to fight the cartels, accusing Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla and the state police of corruption.
