“Adrián Guerrero Caracheo, Morena’s candidate for first councilor of the City Council of Celaya and former leader of section XII of the Telephone Workers Union of the Mexican Republic (STRM), was found alive in the afternoon of April 2, 2024.”
The candidate for councilor was injured during the attack against Bertha Gisela Gaytán Gutiérrez, candidate of the same party for the mayorship of Celaya, in the state of Guanajuato, which occurred one day earlier during a campaign event held in the community of San Miguel de Octopan.
“The candidate of Morena for the first council position in the municipality of Celaya, Adrián Guerrero, on Tuesday, April 2, despite his own political party and the federal government announcing his death, sources consulted by MILENIO indicated that he was never injured, never went to any hospital, and was actually in “hiding” to protect himself after the attack that occurred the previous afternoon,” the aforementioned source said.
“According to the testimonies, he went to the facilities of the Attorney General’s Office [FGR] in San Miguel de Allende, to request protection and await the instructions of his party, after it was reported that he had been a collateral victim of the attack on Celaya’s mayoral candidate, Gisela Gaytán,” the aforementioned newspaper stated. “
“According to newspaper AM, the candidate for first councilor is in good health and, following the murder of the candidate, chose to take refuge fearing for his safety and that of his family. According to the version, spread by newspaper AM, Adrián Guerrero Caracheo will wait for instructions from his party’s leadership, Morena. Sources close to the politician confirmed that he was receiving private medical attention,” stated Reforma newspaper.
Rosa Icela Rodríguez Velázquez, head of the Federal Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), confirmed earlier on the same day that the Morena candidate for first councilor of the City Council of Celaya was injured during the attack against Gaytán Gutiérrez and died while receiving medical attention.
“First of all, we regret the murders of Bertha Gisela Gaytán, candidate for municipal president in Celaya, and Adrián Guerrero, candidate for councilor in Celaya, Guanajuato, both from the Morena party. We express our solidarity with their family and friends, and assure that these acts will not go unpunished,” emphasized Rodríguez Velázquez.

“In light of the murder of the mayoral candidate of Celaya, Guanajuato, Gisela Gaytán, we have been updated on the information regarding councilor candidate Adrián Guerrero Caracheo, who is currently considered missing and not deceased as reported this morning. The Secretariat of Public Security (SSPC) is awaiting the progress of the investigations to locate him,” the Federal Government itself denied to Rodríguez Velázquez via a subsequent statement.”
