HOUSTON - The Mexican state of Guerrero has gone from a tranquil tourist destination to being one of the most dangerous in Mexico over the past few years.
Earlier this month, the city of Chilpancingo garnered national attention due to the assassination of city mayor Alejandro Arcos only a few days after being sworn in. This time around, Mexico's Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) reported 16 new deaths after a shootout between law enforcement and criminal groups in Tecpan de Galeana.
