Violence in Guerrero: Homicide and attack on official's vehicle

Two separate violent incidents were reported in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. In the municipality of Azoyú, Bizmar Ramírez Hernández, a 46-year-old construction worker, was shot and killed while working at a site near the Zapotitlán de la Fuente auditorium. Witnesses reported that an armed individual in a white vehicle approached and shot the victim in the chest with a 5.56 caliber weapon before fleeing.

In Coyuca de Benítez, an armed group targeted the vehicle of Adriana Valentina Morales Pérez, the current municipal official mayor. A white Volkswagen Taos parked in the municipal center was struck by at least 21 gunshots, primarily hitting the bodywork and windows. The vehicle was unoccupied at the time of the attack, and no injuries were reported. Authorities recovered 21 shell casings from the scene, and investigations are ongoing to locate the perpetrators.
