In Mexico, the former governor of Jalisco state, Aristóteles Sandoval, was shot dead Friday in one of the highest-profile assassinations the country has seen amid an ongoing spate of violence in recent years. Sandoval was gunned down in a Puerto Vallarta restaurant restroom. The perpetrators have not been identified, but security experts say it could be members of the Jalisco cartel. As of November, over 31,000 murders have been recorded in Mexico in 2020.
