Authored by foxnews.com

A Mexican mayor who was outspoken in his opposition to drug cartels and pushed for hardline laws against trafficking was killed in a shooting at a Day of the Dead celebration this weekend.

Before his death, Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo had been critical of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum for what he saw as a lack of effort in combating cartels.

His city lies in Michoacán State, which suffers from particularly high levels of cartel violence.

"We need greater determination from the president of Mexico," Manzo told local media in September, vowing not to take "a single step back.".

State officials say Manzo was shot seven times on Saturday night during a Day of the Dead vigil.

Authorities said Manzo's security was extensive, comprised of officers handpicked by Manzo as well as 14 National Guard members.

According to the New York Times, Manzo had been critical of Sheinbaum's approach to cartel issues since her inauguration in October 2024. »
