Arcos' death comes just three days after the new city government's secretary was shot to death
MEXICO CITY - The mayor of the capital of Mexico's violence-plagued state of Guerrero was killed on Sunday less than a week after he took office, the state's governor confirmed.
"His loss mourns the entire Guerrero society and fills us with indignation," Guerrero Governor Evelyn Salgado said in a statement shared on social media.The official confirmation came after photos circulated on messaging app WhatsApp depicting a severed head on top of a pick-up truck, appearing to be that of Arcos. Reuters could not independently verify the photos' authenticity.
"They were young and honest officials who sought progress for their community," Senator Alejandro Moreno wrote on social media. Guerrero has become one of the deadliest states for aspiring and elected public officials, as well as for journalists.
