Mexico’s Sheinbaum Pledges Justice After Mayor Murdered

A mayor in Mexico named Carlos Manzo was shot and killed while attending a public event on a Saturday.

He was known for speaking out against powerful criminal groups in his area and had asked for more help from the government to protect himself and others.

President Claudia Sheinbaum has promised that those responsible will face justice.

Manzo had even worn a bulletproof vest and expressed fears for his life, not wanting to be another statistic.

His city, Uruapan, is famous for its avocados, and this industry has unfortunately become a target for criminals.

Many politicians and journalists have been killed recently in Mexico.

U.S. officials have also condemned the killing and offered to help Mexico fight organized crime.
