Overview
- The Michoacán state prosecutor’s office issued an official search bulletin for Alejandro Correa Gómez, a 41-year-old former municipal president of Zinapécuaro.
- Authorities say he was last seen in the community of Tierras Coloradas in the municipality of Hidalgo on Sunday, and his family later reported losing contact with him that day.
- The bulletin notes concern for his safety and asks the public for information to locate him, providing identifying details including clothing and distinguishing marks.
- His disappearance comes just days after Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo Rodríguez was shot at a family Day of the Dead gathering and died in hospital, prompting a march of at least 500 people in Morelia calling for peace and justice.
- Correa led Zinapécuaro from 2018 to 2021 and holds degrees in administration and public affairs; coverage recalls a 2022 attack during his tenure in which 20 people were killed at a suspected clandestine cockfight.
