US EditionMexico City mayor says police have arrested 13 in connection with killings of her staffers
Authorities arrested 13 suspects in a coordinated operation for the May killing of two aides to Mayor Clara Brugada, including three directly involved in the targeted attack.
- On Wednesday, Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada announced authorities arrested 13 people at dawn in a joint operation by local and federal authorities and the army for the May killings of her aides.
- On May 20, gunmen on a motorcycle killed Ximena Guzmán, personal secretary to Brugada, and José Muñoz, adviser, in the Moderna neighborhood near Calzada de Tlalpan; surveillance suggests scouting on May 14.
- Public prosecutor Bertha Alcalde Luján said it was `a direct attack with a significant degree of planning, and those who carried it out had prior experience` while Brugada said three detainees shot and others handled logistics.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum vowed her government would ensure `justice is served`, marking the first attack on Mexico City officials since Omar García Harfuch's 2020 ambush.
- Sheinbaum's earlier security plan sought to boost intelligence and the National Guard, addressing poverty, while the United States travel advisory issued earlier this month warned of security risks in Mexico City.
