Yesenia Lara Gutiérrez, a mayoral candidate from Mexico’s ruling Morena party, was gunned down Sunday in Texistepec, Veracruz. She was leading a caravan of supporters. According to the Associated Press,

Lara Gutiérrez was the second mayoral candidate killed in Veracruz during the campaign. On April 29, the first official day of campaigning, gunmen killed Germán Anuar Valencia, also from the governing party at his campaign headquarters in Coxquihui in the northern part of Veracruz.

A mayoral candidate in Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's ruling party was killed this past weekend with four others during a campaign rally in the eastern state of Veracruz.
