The mayor of the capital of Mexico's violence-plagued state of Guerrero was killed on Sunday less than a week after he took office.
Alejandro Arcos was killed just six days after he took office as mayor of the city of Chilpancingo, a city of around 280,000 people in southwestern Mexico.
Arcos' death comes just three days after the new city government's secretary, Francisco Tapia, was shot to death.
Guerrero has become one of the deadliest states for aspiring and elected public officials, as well as for journalists.
