Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodríguez, the mayor of Uruapan in Mexico’s Michoacan state, was assassinated during Day of the Dead celebrations on Saturday night, November 1, sending shockwaves through the nation. The anti-cartel mayor was shot seven times in the town’s historic centre as crowds gathered for the traditional festivities. A disturbing video captures the moment gunfire erupted in a crowded plaza as residents and tourists enjoyed the festivities, surrounded by candles, marigold flowers, and skull decorations. Panic spread instantly as people screamed and ran for cover while the mayor collapsed after being shot multiple times. Manzo, who had recently criticised President Claudia Sheinbaum for failing to act against cartel violence, was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries. Authorities confirmed that the gunman, linked to organised criminal groups, was killed at the scene, while a city council member and a bodyguard were injured in the attack. El Ricky Arrested: Mexico Authorities Capture Drug Cartel Del Noreste Leader Ricardo Gonzalez Sauceda in Nuevo Laredo, Clashes Break Out Following His Arrest (See Pics and Videos).
