Mexico City Mayor’s Aides Killed in Targeted Attack

Two senior aides to Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada, personal secretary Ximena Guzmán and adviser José Muñoz, were shot dead by motorcycle-riding assailants early Tuesday morning in the Moderna neighborhood of the Benito Juárez borough. The attack occurred near a busy intersection, and both victims died at the scene. Authorities have launched an investigation, including the analysis of surveillance footage, and have pledged that there will be no impunity for those responsible. Both city and federal governments have vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice. President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed her support for Brugada and condemned the killings, noting the ongoing insecurity in Mexico. The motive for the attack is under investigation, and it remains unclear if Mayor Brugada was the intended target.
