A suspected serial killer investigation in western Mexico is intensifying security concerns just weeks before the country hosts its first matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Authorities in the state of Jalisco are investigating multiple killings linked to a man accused of targeting victims in communities near Guadalajara, one of the tournament's major host cities. The case has become the latest crisis to hit a region already struggling with cartel violence, disappearances and political pressure over public safety before millions of international visitors arrive for the World Cup.
