Mexican authorities suspect that Carlos Manzo, the mayor of Uruapan, was killed by the Jalisco Cartel, according to a report.
The mayor was slain in the city center last week. Authorities linked the killing to the capture of a local leader, Rene Belmonte, by police in August.
A source said that Rene Belmonte, known as Rino, was a close subordinate of the Alvarez Ayala brothers, top leaders in the Jalisco Cartel.
