Gisela Mota Ocampo, mayor of Temixco shot to death on Saturday, was allegedly killed by the Los Rojos criminal gang, according to information obtained by EL UNIVERSAL.

Mota, 33, was a member of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) and was sworn in as the first woman to rule Temixco less than a day earlier.

She was close to senator Fidel Demedicis, who helped her become a member of the LXII Legislature of the Mexican Congress from 2012 to 2015.

In October last year she was involved in a drunk driving scandal when she crashed against a truck owned by Eva Yolanda Huicochea, sister of Andrés Huicochea, former mayoral candidate of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), who filed a complaint against her for alleged threats.

Morelos governor Graco Ramírez declared three days of mourning and condemned all actions that try to produce violence and fear in the state.

Agustín Basave, national chairman of the PRD, attended her waked and demanded justice in the case.
