Carlos Manzo, the mayor of Uruapan and an outspoken critic of organised crime, was shot dead while attending a Day of the Dead festival in the town's historic centre. He was rushed to a hospital and later died at the age of 40. A city council member and a bodyguard were wounded in the attack. The attacker was killed at the scene, and authorities said the unidentified gunman shot Manzo seven times. Federal Security Secretary Omar Garcia Harfuch said the weapon was linked to two armed clashes between rival criminal groups and that no line of investigation was being ruled out.
