Uruapan Mayor Meets Security Chief to Review Local Safety and Manzo Murder Case

Seeking federal coordination, Grecia Quiroz says she reviewed the case’s progress, pressing for more arrests including any implicated political figures.

Overview

  • Grecia Quiroz met in Mexico City with federal Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch to follow up on Uruapan’s security situation.
  • She reported reviewing investigative advances in the assassination of former mayor Carlos Manzo, killed on November 1 after a public Día de Muertos event.
  • Quiroz called for continued detentions of all those involved, explicitly including any political actors tied to the crime.
  • The Harfuch meeting followed a session at the National Palace where President Claudia Sheinbaum convened 61 mayors from high-crime municipalities to strengthen coordination.
  • Authorities have already made several arrests in the case, including individuals from Manzo’s initial security circle, as Quiroz urged residents to trust her leadership and assurances on public safety.
