Michoacán Prosecutors Find Car, Belongings of Missing Ex‑Mayor as Search Intensifies

The case unfolds in a state shaken by recent attacks on municipal officials, including the Nov. 1 killing of Uruapan’s mayor.

Overview

  • Alejandro Correa Gómez, former municipal president of Zinapécuaro, was last seen around 2:00 a.m. on Nov. 2 in Tierras Coloradas, Ciudad Hidalgo.
  • The state prosecutor’s office issued search bulletin folio 1139/2025, noting fear for his safety and the possibility he is a crime victim.
  • Investigators gathered bystander videos from the last known location, which lacked security cameras, and used them to help trace his movements.
  • Authorities located his vehicle and personal belongings at the Ciudad Hidalgo hotel where he had been staying, and specialized units continue coordinated search operations with calls for public tips.
  • Correa, 41, has remained politically active through Michoacán en Movimiento, and his disappearance closely follows the assassination of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo Rodríguez, heightening concern over targeted violence against local officials.
