Brutal Assassination in Guatemala:
Businessman and Ex-Mayoral Hopeful Gunned Down In a hail of over 100 bullets from AKs, AR-15s, and AR-10s, hitmen ambushed Elías Ramírez—prominent businessman and former mayoral candidate in El Tejar, Parramos—right outside his company's entrance. The attackers, posing as construction workers, lay in wait. The woman with him was killed instantly at the scene. Insiders blame fierce rivalries over lucrative construction contracts, where Ramírez held major sway. This reeks of cartel-style execution.
