American Couple Killed in Mexico’s Michoacan State Drug Violence Zone

Date:

An American couple from Sacramento, California, were fatally shot Wednesday when their pickup truck came under gunfire in Mexico’s Michoacan state, marking another violent incident in the country’s ongoing drug-related conflicts.

Rafael Cardona and his wife Gloria Ambriz were killed in Angamacutiro, a town near the border of Guanajuato state, which currently leads Mexico in homicides due to territorial disputes between drug cartels. Cardona was reportedly the brother-in-law of Angamacutiro’s mayor.

State prosecutors have launched an investigation into the shooting but have not yet identified suspects or established a motive. The town government has cancelled its scheduled Christmas season events in response to the tragedy.

The incident occurred in a region notorious for cartel violence, where rival drug organizations frequently clash for control of territory. Guanajuato’s border area has become particularly dangerous as competing gangs fight for dominance.
