Mexican Mayor Murdered One Day After Taking Office
A newly installed mayor in a municipality close to Mexico City was shot and killed outside her home by four gunmen.
Gisela Mota, the newly elected mayor of the Mexican city of Temixco, has been murdered just one day after taking office in the small city.
According to El Universal, Mota was shot and killed by four gunmen in front of her home in Mexico’s eastern state of Morelos.
The news was confirmed by governor of the state, Graco Ramirez, via twitter.
Mota, aged just 33, was a former federal member of Congress and belonged to the leftist Democratic Revolution Party (PRD). She formally assumed her role as mayor on Jan.1.
Several mayors were killed last year in Mexico, where armed gangs financed by the drugs trade control many local communities. Mayor-elect for the municipality of Jerecuaro, Rogelio Sanchez, from the infamous Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM), was killed in June 2015 at a bus station in the lowlands of the central northern state of Guanajuato.
Temixco, located some 100 km south of Mexico City, has a population of just under 100,000.
