ALBAWABA - According to the state prosecutor's office and local media, a judge was shot dead in Acapulco, Mexico's once-thriving seaside city, on Wednesday.
He was shot at least four times in his car outside a courthouse in Acapulco, which was named by the local media as Edmundo Roman Pinzon, head of the Superior Court of Justice in Guerrero state.
A number of murderous attacks have occurred in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero this year, making it one of the regions most affected by organized crime-related violence.
In a similar event and after assuming office, the mayor of Chilpancingo, the state capital, was assassinated and beheaded in October.
