A mayor in Mexico's western state of Michoacan was shot dead in a plaza in front of dozens of people who had gathered for Day of the Dead festivities, authorities have said. The mayor of the Uruapan municipality, Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodriguez, was gunned down Saturday night in the town's historic centre. He was rushed to a hospital where he later died, according to state prosecutor Carlos Torres Pina.

The Thai defendant, who was arrested in Cambodia the day after the shooting, had faced a potential death sentence for the premeditated murder but his sentence was commuted to life as he confessed. Who was Lim Kimya? Kimya, 74, was a dual Cambodian and French citizen and a member of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) from 2013 to 2017.

We are examining every facet of this assassination. We are meticulously investigating theories and questions, including the location from where the shot was taken, the possibility of accomplices, the text message confession and related conversations, Discord chats, the angle of the shot and bullet impact, how the weapon was transported, hand gestures observed as potential signals' near Charlie at the time of his assassination, and visitors to the alleged shooter's residence in the hours and days leading up to September 10, 2025.

The last message he had texted me was the day before he passed away, Noem answered. And it said, 'We have to hold these mayors and local officials accountable for what they're doing.' I was traveling and in meetings in a different time zone and I didn't see it and missed it. I will always feel bad that I didn't respond because I would have said, 'Absolutely, I'm on it,' which I am, but I think he knew that, said Noem.

Politics definitely has a huge part in it. Trump and when I say Trump has a huge part in it, I don't necessarily mean he's to blame for it but he's so divisive, without even really his face is just divisive. Like, he just people hate him so much, Portnoy said. And the left and the right, the rhetoric especially to me the left is insane. And it just boils, boils, boils, boils. And this happened with Trump, when, his assassination attempt, there was like a three-hour period of let's tone down the rhetoric,' and then they're right back to it.

Authorities have recovered the gun used by the suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, but are still engaged in an active manhunt for the shooter.

In addition, Bohls confirmed that they have images of the assassin, and investigators are analyzing video of the gunman's movements, as well as palm and footprints found near the weapon.
