Murder of PRI Party Advisor in Guadalajara

No family deserves to receive a phone call that changes their life forever,” wrote Moreno Cárdenas on X. According to local media, the incident occurred in the Moderna neighborhood in Guadalajara when armed men shot at Octavio Alan Ochoa, who was on his way to work. It is unknown if the attackers have been identified, or how the investigations to solve the case will be conducted. In addition to being a PRI advisor in Jalisco, Octavio Alan Ochoa was a litigating lawyer in Jalisco. It is unknown if the perpetrators of the murder are linked to any of the cartels operating in Jalisco, a state where violence continues more than a month after the death of Nemesio Oseguera 'El Mencho', leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). Despite the wave of violence, the United States lowered the alert level for its citizens visiting Jalisco after releasing an interactive map showing sites around the world it does not recommend visiting. After 'El Mencho's' death, Jalisco was at level 4, which is the maximum alert not to travel, but last week the alert was lowered to level 3, which asks people to reconsider travel and take precautions. Octavio Alan Ochoa Martínez, a state political advisor for PRI, was shot dead in Jalisco on Wednesday, April 1, while heading to work at his office. The president of PRI in Jalisco, Laura Haro, confirmed the 'cowardly' murder of Alan Ochoa, whom she called her friend, and in addition to condemning the act, she demanded that the authorities of Jalisco not allow impunity in clarifying the case. “To his family and friends, our sincere condolences,” wrote Laura Haro on her social networks. Alejandro 'Alito' Moreno, national leader of PRI, condemned the murder of Octavio Alan Ochoa and demanded that those responsible be punished, as well as for Mexico not to get used to the violence. “It hurts us and angers us. Because no one should lose their life like that.”
