Summary

Former prosecutor and police official Germán Reyes was arrested for the brutal killing of Alejandro Arcos, Chilpancingo’s newly elected mayor, found decapitated in October.

Reyes, a former military officer, was previously blamed for working with a local gang, shocking officials who had attributed the murder to gang violence.

His arrest suggests deep corruption among Guerrero officials and raises doubts about hiring ex-military for police roles.

The gang violence in Chilpancingo, dominated by warring factions like the Ardillos and Tlacos, has led to gruesome public killings, widespread fear, and destabilized governance.
