Mexican mayor's severed head placed atop pick-up truck 6 days after taking office
Fox News
The mayor of a violence-plagued city in Mexico was killed on Sunday with his decapitated body left in a pickup truck and his severed head placed atop the vehicle's roof.
The city, the capital of Guerrero state, is so violent that a drug gang openly staged a demonstration, hijacked a government armored car and took police hostage in 2023 to win the release of arrested suspects. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
