Overview

• Jessica Flor Luna Aguilera, a 35-year-old lawyer and former PT candidate for mayor of Yanga, was shot while arriving to pick up her daughter at the Benito Juárez primary school in Potrero Nuevo, Atoyac.
• Witness reports indicate armed men intercepted her vehicle and fired at close range, causing her SUV to crash into the school wall as families scrambled; her daughter was not harmed inside the campus.
• The Veracruz prosecutor’s office confirmed the killing, opened a case, and transferred the body to the forensic service for the autopsy.
• Authorities activated a code red and deployed federal, state, and ministerial forces across the area, but no suspects have been detained.
• PT leaders condemned the attack, which comes during a spate of violence against local political figures in Veracruz in recent weeks.
