Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum launched the Plan Michoacán por la Paz y la Justicia, pledging additional National Guard units, federal security agents under Omar García Harfuch, and a proposal for a specialized high‑impact crimes prosecutor’s office.
- Authorities detailed economic and social components that include support for farmworkers, rural infrastructure investment, victim services, and school‑based programs to promote a culture of peace.
- Street protests grew in Morelia, Uruapan and Apatzingán, with clashes, vandalism and fires reported, and local officials confirming detentions as demonstrators demanded justice for Mayor Carlos Manzo.
- Investigators say the shooter fired seven times and was killed at the scene; federal sources named a suspect linked to a CJNG cell, but Sheinbaum said the attacker has not been formally identified, while the 9mm weapon is being probed for ties to other recent homicides.
- Grecia Quiroz, Manzo’s widow, urged peaceful demonstrations, met privately with Sheinbaum at the National Palace, and is being considered by the Michoacán Congress to serve as interim municipal leader, according to local authorities.
