In Mexico, the mayor of Candelaria Loxicha in Oaxaca state died after he was attacked outside his home Tuesday. Román Ruiz Bohórquez is the second Mexican mayor to be assassinated this month. Mexico’s recently inaugurated President Claudia Sheinbaum has vowed to tackle violent organized crime. Community members mourned Bohórquez at his funeral Wednesday.

Gabriela Arellano Reyes: “Today they killed a leader who only had the aspiration to make his community shine, his town, Candelaria Loxicha. On behalf of all of my colleagues, I ask for justice for his death, that it does not go unpunished.”
