Mexico City Mayor's Staff Targeted in Broad Daylight Shooting
- Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada's personal secretary, Ximena Guzmán, and adviser, José Muñoz, were killed on May 20, 2025, in the Moderna neighborhood of Mexico City.
- The incident took place early Tuesday morning as gunmen riding a motorcycle opened fire on a black Audi SUV, leaving four bullet holes on the driver's side windshield; authorities are still probing the motive behind the attack.
- David Saucedo, an expert on Mexico’s security issues, indicated that the murders appeared to be orchestrated by organized crime, likely aimed at exerting pressure on Brugada’s government amid a slight increase in homicide rates in Mexico City this year.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the killings during a morning briefing, stating she was unaware of threats against Guzmán and vowed that "there would not be impunity."
- Authorities cordoned off the crime scene while continuing to investigate the incident amidst concerns over violence targeting officials allied with Brugada and Sheinbaum in Mexico City's central neighborhoods.
