Another mayor killed in Mexico
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexican mayor and her husband have been killed in the western state of Michoacan. It occurred less than 48 hours after a mayor in the southern state of Oaxaca was killed. Local politicians are frequently victims of political and organized crime violence. The mayor was killed Tuesday in Tepalcatepec. It is near the border with Jalisco state and is a persistent hotspot for drug cartel violence in Mexico. A number of organized crime groups operate in the area.
