The private secretary and an adviser to the mayor of Mexico City were gunned down in an attack in the Mexican capital Tuesday.
Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada said Ximena Guzmán and José Muñoz died “during a direct attack,” in the Moderna neighborhood.
Brugada, as mayor of Mexico City, holds the country’s second most powerful political office after the country’s President Claudia Sheinbaum. Brugada and Sheinbaum are allies in the Morena party.
The Mexico City Attorney General’s Office said the attack took place when the two officials were on their way to work and their vehicle was intercepted.
