A gunman shot and killed a Mexican mayoral candidate as he was about to take the stage during a campaign event in the coastal state of Guerrero. The murder comes amidst one of Mexico's bloodiest election cycles, with at least 36 candidates murdered and over 300 political attacks in a span of less than a year.
