Mayoral Candidate, Young Girl Among 6 Shot Dead In Mexico

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat






A mayoral candidate and five other people were killed when people opened fire at a campaign rally in southern Mexico state of Chiapas, officials said, marking yet another shooting in an area known as a trafficking route for migrant and drug smuggling that has been hit by cartel turf battles .

State prosecutors said a young girl was among the six people killed in the gunfire late Thursday, along with mayoral candidate Lucero López Maza. Two people also were wounded.

"A confrontation broke out between armed civilians during a political campaign event," prosecutors said in a statement.

It was unclear whether López Maza was the intended target of the attack, because shootings have become so common and widespread in the area.

The mass shooting occurred at a crossroads in the rural town of La Concordia, Chiapas, about 80 miles from the border with Guatemala.

The area near the Guatemalan border is a major smuggling route for drugs and migrants, Mexico’s two main drug cartels have been fighting for control of the region.

On Tuesday, 11 people were killed in mass shootings in a village in the township of Chicomuselo, Chiapas, a few dozen miles away from La Concordia.

Chiapas draws tourists with its lush jungle, Indigenous communities and ancient Mayan ruins.

But the border area has been plagued by violence as the rival Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels battle for territory. Just last month, masked men stopped a vehicle carrying Mexico's leading presidential candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum, while she was traveling between campaign stops to ask that she address the violence in Chiapas if she wins the June 2 election.

About 20 Mexican political candidates have been killed so far in 2024 before next month's elections — including one mayoral hopeful who was shot dead last month just as she began campaigning.

  2. So tell us BB own AMLO publicist, so far have there been less or more political candidates killed in all of México compared to prior administrations? I've read the number of candidates killed is in the 60 range.

    1. You’re not changing anything by being a cartel member.

      The government in the only powerhouse of Mexico.

      Only it can change the course of Mexico.

    5. 9:01 It seems? Before you post something like that you should have some reliable facts to back it up. How do you know her father was involved in organized crime? Put up or shut up.

    8. @12:49

      How do you know they don't have information? You did good by asking but your tantrum was unnecessary. Her father's crew had been attacked before and El Financiero reported he maybe part of a group fighting for control of territory. No evidence yet but, as 9:01said by using the word "seems", it's a suspicion.

  5. The only way you get to be a politician in Mexico is if you associate with organized crime, now or in the future but somewhere down the line you will have deal with them that’s the reality of things. In Mexico it’s not what you know but who you know

      It's fair to say that the next President of Mexico better kiss 💋 ass to organize crime members, or risk getting Plata o plumo.

    2. Plomo, not plumo. Do you even know what that means? And Claudia likely has already received the Plata, lmao.

    3. 7:49 True, it’s who you know in Mexico. My sister is a lawyer in Mexico and when shit goes down or needs help with a case she calls people in the “fiscalía”{prosecutor's office} and they do favors and altered paperwork 😆 plus she has a kid with a dude that knows a dude (political)

    5. The last time a presidential candidate was murdered was 30 years ago and it's suspected the act was carried out by the standing president at the time, NOT the local cartel... Local government?.. Whole different story...

    8. all political people are in for the money, not to help el pueblo, the thing is they go against some cartel views. Inside a state it may be run by the same cartel, but not all the leaders have the same views, and that's when political clowns get what they asked.

      I wish ELMO would take your advice because he only complains and doesn't do anything.

    3. Let me remind you of what the current president has done since you claim he only "complains". Captures under AMLO include, El Nini, RCQ, his nephew "El R", Ovidio, el Omega, El Durango, Lupe Tapia and his son, La Vaca, El Marro, Huevo Trevino, El Cazador, El Contador, El Vaquero, Menchos brother El Montana and Menchos wife La Jefa...
      Under AMLO SeDeNa took charge of all land, air and sea ports of entry. The corrupt Polica federal was disbanded and absorbed by the Guardia Nacional. The 30k personnel were absorbed by the Guardia and an additional 90k GN personnel were hired. By the end of his term there should be close to 600 military stations throughout the country to house the 120k Guardia Nacional personnel.

    4. I dunno economics, but I read somewhere that AMLO has been charging lotsa stuff, a maxed out credit card deal, and a big balloon payment is coming due soon, sometimes after the elections..

  10. Her father is a jalisco plaza boss. He called a meeting with government ppl to tell them that his daughter shld run for office no one cld say no because the meeting at his ranch was loaded with his gunmen. Then she got killed. I bet he regrets that shit now assuming he actually gave a shit about his kid.
