The husband and wife were “cowardly murdered,” said the PRI branch in Guerrero, a violence-plagued southern state rife with organized crime.
Mexican politicians often fall victim to bloodshed connected to corruption and the drug trade, particularly those running for local office.
On Thursday night, Lucero Lopez Maza, a 28-year-old aspiring town mayor in the southern state of Chiapas, was shot dead along with five other people including a minor, the local prosecutor’s office said.
