Violent Protests Erupt in Mexican Town Following Police Shooting of Local Man

Four officers are under investigation after 27-year-old Brandon Arellano was killed, sparking outrage and destruction in Lerdo de Tejada.

27-year-old Brandon Arellano was shot dead by local police in Lerdo de Tejada, Mexico, after he did not stop his car at a checkpoint.
Following the shooting, residents of the town set fire to the municipal palace, clashed with police officers, and overturned a police car.
Four municipal police officers have been detained and are under investigation for suspected homicide.
Arellano's family speculate he didn't stop at the checkpoint due to fear of the local security forces, who are highly mistrusted by local residents.
Mayor María Esther Arroniz expressed regret over Arellano's death but condemned the violent protests, stating that they feed 'hatred, vandalism and social instability.'
