Authorities arrest 13 suspects over killing of Mexico City officials

Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada says 13 people have been arrested over the May attack that killed her personal secretary Ximena Guzman and adviser Jose Munoz. Three suspects are accused of carrying out the shooting, while others allegedly helped plan it, Al Jazeera reported.

The daylight attack shocked the capital, seen as safer than much of Mexico. Brugada vowed justice for her colleagues, while President Claudia Sheinbaum pledged federal support to the victims’ families.

According to Al Jazeera, the case highlights Mexico’s ongoing struggle with violence targeting officials, journalists, and civilians, which recently prompted a new US travel warning.
