Teen Kills Mayor in Mexico's Organized Crime Spree

On November sixth, a seventeen-year-old meth addict assassinated popular Michoacan mayor Carlos Alberto Manzo, but organized crime also played a role. The gunman, Víctor Manuel Ubaldo Vidales, was killed by the mayors security detail. The attack, linked to organized crime, was one of seven mayor killings in Michoacan over the past three years. Mayor Manzo had previously appealed to Mexicos President for help against cartels, but violence persists in Michoacan, with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and Familia Michoacana remaining major threats.
