Overview

• The pair were discovered inside their overturned vehicle along the Mártir de Cuilapan–Zitlala route a day after they were reported missing.
• Ministerial and security personnel processed the scene and moved the bodies to the state forensic service in Chilpancingo.
• Lidia Tehuitzin ran for Zitlala’s municipal presidency in 2024 and practiced medicine, and Gabriel Vicente was a teacher, an SNTE conflicts secretary for Indigenous Education, and a Morena organizer.
• The state prosecutor’s office had not issued an incident report at last check, leaving the cause, manner, and motive unconfirmed.
• The location matches the corridor where ex‑mayor Roberto Zapoteco Castro was found in April, heightening concern over recurrent attacks on local political figures.
