Mexican Politician's Daughter Assassinated During Lawmaker Session

The daughter of Carmen Medel Palma appears to be the fatal victim of a calculated assassination. Her mother is a regional opposition party politician, who runs in the now dominant Morena party. However, extreme partisanship and corruption grip Mexican politics. Many suspect the murder was motivated in part by Medel Palma's new legislation proposals to curb violence.
