The mayor of Taxco de Alarcón, Guerrero, Juan Andrés Vega Carranza, was reported missing this Monday, April 13, during an operation to locate his father, who had been kidnapped days earlier. According to state authorities, the mayor was participating in the search for doctor Juan Vega Arredondo, who had been missing since April 11. He disappears during deployment in Tetipac. Preliminary information indicates that the municipal president was moving to the municipality of Tetipac accompanied by security elements; however, communication with him and his team was lost from that moment. The disappearance occurred hours after operations to locate his father intensified, whose vehicle was found near the border between Guerrero and Morelos. They reinforce the operation in three municipalities. Authorities from the three levels of government maintain a deployment in Taxco, Tetipac, and Pilcaya, with security filters and overflights to locate both. So far, no arrests or concrete progress in the investigation have been reported. The State Prosecutor's Office maintains the search protocols active, without detailing the circumstances of the mayor's disappearance. The case occurs in a region with high pressure in terms of security, while the authorities try to clarify if both events are related.
