| A mayoral candidate and his three body guards were gunned down in San Miguel Duenas, Guatemala, his party said Wednesday, the second member of the group killed in less than a week.
Mayoral candidate Horacio Quinones of the Todos political party received a death threat weeks ago, and authorities had launched an investigation into the incident.
A deputy mayor candidate for the party was killed in the municipality of Nueva Concepcion Thursday.
After Quinones's death, the only person left in the mayoral race is an opposition party candidate.
"These events are the result of the wave of violence that prevails in our country, following a collapsed system where serious reforms are essential to rescue the country facing crisis," the Todos party said in a statement condemning the killing.
