Alejandro Moreno, national president of the PRI, confirmed what happened, after Francisco Tapia, secretary of Chilpancingo, was also murdered with less than a week in office.
“Given the situation of ungovernability in Guerrero, we will be asking the @FGRMexico (Attorney General’s Office of the Republic) to investigate both murders,” the politician published on his X account.
They have murdered our mayor of Chilpancingo, Alejandro Arcos, and just three days ago the secretary of this same City Council, Francisco Tapia.
They had been in office for less than a week. Young and honest officials who sought progress for their community.
Our condolences…— Alejandro Moreno (@alitomorenoc)

Arcos won the elections in Chilpancingo as a representative of the PAN, PRI and PRD coalition.
Just this Sunday he was on tours, supervising the care of residents affected by Hurricane John.
Evelyn Salgado, governor of Guerrero, spoke about the murder, which was confirmed by the State Attorney General’s Office and stated that security will be reinforced in Chilpancingo.
“I have instructed the Secretary of Public Security of the State to intensify surveillance and social proximity operations in various parts of Chilpancingo.
“To the people of Guerrero, I reiterate the commitment of my government to work in coordination with the authorities of the different levels of government to guarantee peace and governability in Guerrero, always seeking to advance towards the pacification of our state,” he published on Facebook.
