DESCRIPCIÓN DE IMÁGENES
STORY: A CCTV video showed the moment when a gunman shot two top aides of Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada in a daytime attack in the city center on Tuesday (May 20).
The victims were the mayor's private secretary, Ximena Guzman, and an adviser to Brugada, Jose Munoz, according to a statement from the city.
Initial reports indicated Guzman had been driving to work and stopped on a busy avenue in downtown Mexico City to pick up her colleague, an official at the federal prosecutor's office said.
Munoz was approached by two gunmen on a motorbike who shot and killed him in the street. The attackers then fired at least four shots at Guzman inside the vehicle, killing her.
Political violence has become common in many parts of Mexico, where scores of local political candidates have been assassinated in killings usually linked to drug cartels seeking to exert influence.
