Mexico City Police Commissioner Milton Morales Figueroa Assassinated in Coacalco

In a shocking turn of events, Mexico City's police commissioner, Milton Morales Figueroa, was brutally assassinated in Coacalco, a municipality in the State of Mexico. The details surrounding the incident are still unclear, but according to reports from EL PAIS, Morales was off duty, spending the day with his family when he was attacked.

Morales, one of Harfuch's most trusted men, had previously led major cases against organized crime, including an attack against the then chief of the capital's police. He was also a key official in President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum's anti-violence strategy.

The circumstances of the attack are sparse, with no prior context provided. Two vehicles are reported to have blocked Morales' path, and several armed men opened fire, injuring another agent and Morales' brother-in-law. Morales died almost instantly from several impacts to the head.

This tragic event comes amidst other instances of violence in Mexico. A former Morena candidate for municipal president was killed in Amecameca, and journalist Roberto Figueroa was kidnapped and murdered in Morelos.

As of now, there is limited information available about Commissioner Morales Figueroa or the reasons behind his assassination in Coacalco. For detailed and verified specifics on this incident, consulting local news reports or official statements from Mexican authorities may provide the accurate context and details needed.
