It has been a month since Carlos Manzo, the mayor of Uruapan in Michoacán state, was killed, and Mexican authorities have slowly begun to release information about those responsible and how the murder unfolded.

So far, federal and state forces have arrested and opened legal proceedings against nine people allegedly linked to the attack, while one more suspect remains at large.
