💨 Abstract

In Mexico's Veracruz state, a mayoral candidate from the ruling Morena party was killed and others wounded in a shooting at his campaign headquarters during municipal election campaigning. The attack occurred in the small rural town of Coxquihui, with over two dozen gunmen reportedly involved. Local candidates are historically vulnerable to election violence as organized criminal groups attempt to gain control of local governments. Municipal elections are scheduled for June 1.
