Mexico vows to hunt down killer of mayoral candidate

Mourners remember Alma Rosa Barragán, a mayoral candidate who was killed during a campaign rally in Veracruz. Earlier this year, another candidate, Yesenia Lara Gutíerrez, was also gunned down at a similar event, joining a growing list of political hopefuls victims of violence. Authorities are investigating the latest attack near Texistepec, where three people were killed and three others injured. The surge in such incidents underscores the escalating problem of electoral violence across Mexico, often linked to organized crime aiming to influence local elections by targeting mayors and their supporters.
