Mexican Mayor Assassinated Day After Historic Presidential Win

The mayor of Cotija, Yolanda Sanchez Figueroa, was shot dead in western Mexico just a day after Claudia Sheinbaum's historic election as the country's first woman president. Sanchez, who had previously been kidnapped by the Jalisco Cartel, was killed on a public road. The murder highlights the ongoing violence and influence of drug cartels in Mexico, which has seen numerous political candidates killed in recent months. Authorities have launched a security operation to apprehend her killers.
