The shooting took place shortly after 9:45 p.m. outside of the Coahuila State University Auditorium when a bearded gunman wearing gray clothing walked up to former mayor Fernando Puron Johnston and shot him once in the back of the head. The gunman then appears to shoot him twice in the chest area before running away.
A surveillance video leaked to Breitbart Texas revealed the moment when the gunman walks behind Puron and fires a handgun.
As of press time, no arrests had been made. Emergency medical personnel rushed Puron to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.
Puron, a candidate for Mexicos Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI) for a federal congressional seat, had just finished a heated political debate with candidates from other parties. Before becoming a congressional candidate, Puron had served as mayor of Piedras Negras and is credited with promoting economic growth as well as taking a hard line on seedy bars and closing down brothels and cantinas that in the past had been used as fronts by organized crime in the border city.

Mexican Politics.....
"...Mexican politician..."
3rd world $hithole
Just a general opinion, the U.S should declare war on the cartels and use any method it can to destroy them. Including bombing their homes and bases without prior approval from the Mexican government.
Coming soon to your town or city compliments of Liberals and Rinos...
Life and Death in a Shithole Country.
Murder rates in Latin America in general are insane.
The assassin was there the entire time, waiting.
My guess, just like the Colosio assassination, is that the killers were sent by other PRI politicians, not by people from the opposition parties.
Yep you could see him.....
The mayor was fighting against the cartels....it was likely a hit.
Like Chicago....gangs and murders..you can buy what you want.
Life in Mehico is cheap.
Absolutely heartbreaking when you read about what has happened to Mexico. Most Mexicans are good people. They can’t all come here. They need to fix that poor excuse for a country.
They cant all come here. They need to fix that poor excuse for a country.
This I agree with, and AG Sessions and President Trump should help out in a big way by sending 20-30 MILLION of Their Citizens Home to clean up the mess.
