José A.C.B., candidate for mayor of Coyuca de Benítez, Guerrero state, was shot dead during a campaign rally. His murder was captured on camera, with the footage showing him smiling and shaking hands with fans before he was shot several times.

According to local media, Cabrera was under police protection after having been the target of a previous attack in 2023. An investigation has been launched to determine what the possible motive of the attack may have been.

The state prosecutor's office said that "the alleged assailant was killed at the scene." by members of Mexico's National Guard. Three people were also injured and two others detained, according to witnesses.

The run-up to the vote, in which a new president as well as members of the legislature, nine governors and almost 20,000 local officials will be chosen, has been the most violent in recent history. At least 23 candidates have been killed and hundreds more have been threatened, but non-governmental groups say the figure is even higher.

Imagine a shooter politely reaches past your face to gain line of sight to their target.

Is that a bullet or a broken bone trying to break through the side of his chin?
