Mexican Mayor Assasinated One Day After Taking Office

  
Via ABC News– The mayor of a city south of Mexico’s capital was shot to death on Saturday, less than a day after taking office.

Gunmen opened fire on Mayor Gisela Mota at her house in the city of Temixco, said the government of Morelos state, where Temixco is located. Two presumed assailants were killed and three others detained following a pursuit, said Morelos security commissioner Jesus Alberto Capella. He said the suspects fired on federal police and soldiers from a vehicle.

On his Twitter account, Morelos Gov. Graco Ramirez attributed Mota’s killing to organized crime, without citing a particular drug cartel or gang. Cartels seeking to control communities and towns have often targeted local officials and mayors in Mexico.

Mota’s leftist Democratic Revolution Party released a statement describing her as “a strong and brave woman who on taking office as mayor, declared that her fight against crime would be frontal and direct.”

Temixco is a city of about 100,000 people neighboring Cuernavaca, a resort and industrial city which has been suffering kidnappings and extortion linked to organized crime groups. Though Cuernavaca is the capital of Morelos, Temixco is the seat of several state institutions including the Public Security Commission, which coordinates state and local police forces. Morelos also neighbors drug cartel-plagued Guerrero state.

Mota, who had been a federal congresswoman, was sworn into office on New Year’s Day. She was killed the following day.

Morelos Gov. Ramirez vowed there “would be no impunity” in her killing and promised that state officials would not cede to what he described as a “challenge from criminals.”

Federal and state forces are deployed in Cuernavaca and municipalities near the Guerrero state border in what is called operation “Delta.”

Capella did not provide more details about the attack on Mota, but said that when the suspects were detained, authorities found a 9-millimeter gun, an Uzi, ski masks and an SUV with Mexico State license plates.

Morelos Attorney General Javier Perez Duron said the detained suspects have been tied to other crimes, but declined to provide more details.

Peewee Roscoe Appealing 20-Year Sentence And Guilty Plea For Lil Wayne Tour Bus Shooting 

  
Jimmy “Pewee Roscoe” Winfrey, the 25-year-old man convicted of shooting at Lil Wayne’s tour bus back in April has put forth the paperwork to appeal his sentence and guilty plea.

According to XXL:

First reported by Bossip, Winfrey and his attorney Steve Sadow filed for the appeal back on Dec. 18, almost a month after his sentencing on various gang-related charges stemming from the shooting. His legal team is arguing that his guilty plea might have been the result of coercion. “The transcript of the guilty plea strongly suggests that my client was pressured, coerced into entering the plea by the comments of the trial judge indicating he would be punished or penalized severely if he did not take the plea,” Sadow recently told Billboard.

The entire criminal case stems from an April 26 shooting, where, according to police, Roscoe pulled alongside Lil Wayne’s tour bus on I-285 in Atlanta and fired multiple shots, following an incident at club Compound where the Cash Money artist has just appeared. Roscoe – a Young Thug affiliate – was arrested a short time later. The original indictment implicated, but did not charge Young Thug and Bryan “Birdman” Williams.

In November, Winfrey pleaded guilty to six of the 27 counts he faced which included aggravated assault, terroristic threats, possession of a firearm by a felon and criminal gang activity. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years probation.

  
Meanwhile the Internet is buzzing about wether Lil Wayne and Birdman are back on good terms.

The two former friends who deemed themselves, “father & son” were spotted along with the Drake and others partying in Miami on New Year’s Eve. 

We’re all wondering how “Pee Wee” is feeling about the Wayne/Birdman reunion as he sits in jail on a 20 year bid for shooting up Wayne’s tour bus. 

Prior to sentencing Pee Wee Roscoe accused Birdman of ordering the alleged hit on Wayne, stating during his trail that Birdman should be “held liable“.
