Alejandro Arcos, the mayor of Chilpancingo who was killed on Sunday less than a week after taking office.
The mayor of a crime-ridden city in Mexico has been killed less than a week after taking office, the latest in a string of violent attacks targeting politicians in the country.
The killing of Alejandro Arcos, who took office as the mayor of Chilpancingo on October 1, comes just days after the city government’s secretary Francisco Tapia was shot to death, and has renewed concerns over security in a country that recently held its biggest and most violent general election in history.
PRAY FOR MEXICO:
A shift in the spiritual atmosphere to take place.
Bind the spirit of anger, hatred, violence and killing
Release the spirit of PEACE and GENTLENESS
Governments and officials will step up with a better security system
Stability to thrive in the nation
Revival to sweep through the nation
Believers to preach the Gospel boldly
Churches to impact their communities for Christ
